Biography

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderon was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Surviving polio, a devastating bus accident that shattered her spine and pelvis, and a turbulent marriage to Diego Rivera, she channeled extraordinary pain into equally extraordinary art. Her work explores identity, the human body, death, and Mexican folk traditions with unflinching honesty.

Philosophy

Pain is inevitable but it can be transformed into beauty and meaning. Authenticity is not optional - it is survival. Paint your own reality, not someone else's. Feet, what do I need them for if I have wings to fly?

Famous Quotes

Feet, what do I need them for when I have wings to fly?

I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me.

At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.
