Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) was a Mexican artist known for her vivid, surreal self-portraits that explored themes of identity, pain, and gender. Her work often combined Mexican folk art with surrealist elements, reflecting her personal struggles with illness, injury, and her complex relationship with Diego Rivera. Kahlo became a feminist icon and a symbol of resilience, challenging societal norms and celebrating Mexican culture. Today, she remains one of the most influential and celebrated artists of the 20th century.
