Mexico Handmade

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderón (Coyoacán, Mexico City; July 6, 1907- . July 13, 1954), better known as Frida Kahlo, was a Mexican painter. Her life was marked by the misfortune of suffering a serious accident in her youth that kept her bedridden for long periods, undergoing up to 32 surgical operations. She led an unconventional life.3 Her pictorial work revolves thematically around her biography and her own suffering. She was the author of 150 works, mainly self-portraits, in which she projected her difficulties to survive. Frida’s work and that of her husband, the painter Diego Rivera, influenced each other. Both shared a taste for Mexican folk art with indigenous roots, inspiring other Mexican painters of the post-revolutionary period.
