Frida Kahlo used her paintings to tell us she was a lot of things. Often regarded as a surrealist painter, (no doubt, the pieces do present themselves as a bizarre concoction out of a dream), Kahlo often said that she only painted her reality. With a myriad of self-portraits and concepts ranging from the Mexican revolution, national identity, accidents and miscarriages, her paintings - despite her tumultuous and singular experiences- spoke of emotions that were universal - pain, loss, loneliness and love with honesty and raw passion like no other.
