Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo is an iconic Mexican artist, major figure of Surrealism and Latin American art, whose autobiographical work explores physical pain, female identity, and Mexican cultural roots. Marked by a tragic accident and fragile health, she transforms her suffering into powerful artistic expression through striking self-portraits blending raw realism, dreamlike symbolism, and pre-Columbian imagery. Feminist icon and communist activist, she embodies resistance, passion, and identity affirmation, becoming far beyond her lifetime a universal symbol of strength and creativity in the face of adversity.
