About the Artist

Frida Kahlo produced a relatively small body of work yet posthumously has become one of the world’s most recognised and merchandised artists. Her meticulously crafted paintings explored her own identity, physical pain and emotional turbulence, intertwined with botanical details and cultural motifs from her native Mexico. While a contemporary of surrealist artists, and adopting a surrealist style at times, she said: “They thought I was a surrealist, but I wasn’t... I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.”
