Frida Kahlo was a strong and talented woman who expressed the situations of her life through her works of art. She was born on July 6, 1907 in the city of Coyoacán. His life was challenging and the only choice he had was to be strong to continue living. For example, “when Frida was six years old, she contracted polio and was bedridden for almost a year” and as a result “was left with one leg shorter than the other” (Lowe 17). This deformity was the first, but far from the last, problem Frida ever faced in her life. At the age of eighteen "she suffered a very serious accident that left her with a profound impairment of the spine, pelvis and uterus" (Tibol 2). He had several broken ribs; “his right leg was broken in eleven places and his right foot was crushed” (Lowe 18). Despite all these consequences he tried to lead a normal life and a year after the accident he started drawing (Lowe 18). From then on, she designed myriad works of art representing moments in her life using herself as the primary model. As she herself says: "I paint self-portraits because I am often alone", "because I am the person I know best" - Frida once said (Herrera The paitnings 3). Frida's works were her representation of reality or the way she perceived it. His uncanny ability to show his inner world through artwork is amazing. In this research paper, my focus is mainly on her particular painting - "The Two Fridas", and how she expresses her feelings using canvas and paint. What stories are hidden in this painting and how do you reflect your emotions in your work? The answers lie behind the layers of paint and just have to be proposed and guessed at.Frida Kahlo "painted [her] reality" and...... middle of paper......013Garber, Elizabeth.
