She left an indelible mark on the art world with her emotionally charged and autobiographical works. Among her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits, and the first one was painted in 1926 when she was only 19 years old. Starting her artistic journey out of the necessity to fill time and as a means of self-therapy, it gradually became something much more significant.
Kahlo painted herself because that was what she knew best and, in those faces, she captured her ideology, her intimate world filled with symbolism, creating masterpieces such as Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird.
Among all her self-portraits, perhaps this is one of the most well-known.
In it, we see a serious Frida Kahlo, which is the focal point of the painting, looking directly at us – which is the way we usually see her in her paintings. Dres
