Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was born in 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico, and built an art of brutal honesty from the wreckage of her own body. Polio scarred her as a child, a bus accident broke her spine as a teen, and pain became her lifelong collaborator. Frida Kahlo painted from her bed, from her wheelchair, from the margins of her own endurance—self-portraits that bleed defiance, surreal yet biographical, intimate yet mythic. Her canvases fuse Indigenous Mexican symbolism, Catholic mysticism, and psychological surrealism into a single, haunting language of identity.
