Frida Kahnlo

Pain and Passion – The Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) is one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. Her life and art were marked by physical pain and personal tragedy. However, her paintings do not only reflect her own fate but are also deeply rooted in the culture and history of Mexico. Today, Frida Kahlo is a global cultural icon, celebrated for her courageous exploration of femininity, individuality, and the power of the human spirit. One of her last paintings, completed just a few days before her death, bears the motto Viva la Vida!
