About Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was born on 6 July 1907 in Mexico City. Her artowks are a beautiful blend of fantasy and reality and she was heavily inspired by her culture and experiences of gender, class, race and postcolonialism.
While a moderately sucessful artist, Kohlo was mainly known at the wife of Rivera while she was alive, but after years after her death on 26th July 1954 her work became highly acclaimed. She is most well-known for her self-portraits.
Her paintings often contain symbols and imagery of myths, nature, religions and medicine. A combination of health issues a love for science contributed to a range of artworks exploring physical pain and wounds.
Her home La Casa Azul in Coyoacán has been converted into a museum.
