Frida Kahlo

Written By Lyydia Alajääskö

  • Influential Mexican painter

  • Communist (in a relationship with Trotsky)

  • Struggled with health issues her whole life

  • Married Diego

I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best. The subject i want to know better.

Engaged in relationships with many people over the course of her life. The most tumultuous one being the one with Diego.

There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the train the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.

I don't paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality.

My painting carries with it the message of pain.
