"La Frida"

Frida Kahlo, also known as “La Frida,” was a Mexican painter and icon of the feminist movement. Born in 1907, she lived a life marked by both physical and emotional pain, but used her art as a form of therapy and self-expression. Her works often featured bold colors, intricate patterns, and symbolic imagery, drawing from Mexican folk culture and her own experiences. Frida Kahlo’s art challenged societal norms and expectations, especially around gender and disability, and continues to inspire artists and thinkers around the world. Despite her struggles, she remained a strong and empowered woman throughout her life, earning her the enduring nickname “La Frida.”
