Frida Kahlo. T.J Krull

Pain and passion - Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) is one of the most prominent figures in 20th-century art. Her life and work were marked by physical pain and personal tragedy. However, her paintings not only reflect her own fate - they are also deeply rooted in the culture and history of Mexico. Today, Frida Kahlo is a global cultural icon, revered for her bold exploration of femininity, individuality and the strength of the human spirit. One of her last paintings, completed just days before her death, reads: "Viva la Vida!" (Long live life!).
