About Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter best known for her self-portraits and works that explored identity, pain, resilience and Mexican heritage. Born in 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico, Kahlo’s art often drew from personal experiences, including lifelong health challenges and her connection to Mexican folk traditions.

Kahlo became an international cultural icon for her distinctive artistic style, her unapologetic self-expression and her role in shaping conversations around gender, disability and cultural pride.
