Frida Kahlo Paintings, Art Gallery & Video

Frida Kahlo lived a life full of sorrow and pain. However, instead of succumbing to her demons and allowing them to crush her spirit, she sprang up and decided to share herself with the world. Her paintings, many of them self-portraits due to her isolation, gained recognition after her death.  

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality. – Frida Kahlo
