Frida Kahlo was a half-Mexican, half-Hungarian painter of the 20th century, born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón in Coyoacán, Mexico City on July 6, 1907. During her short life, she had many successes. She was a surrealist artist whose paintings reflected her thoughts and feelings. His creative style has always been striking but confusing. Unfortunately, she lived much of her artistic life in the shadow of her husband, Diego Rivera, and her work was not truly recognized until after his death. Frida Kahlo was a brilliant young woman who had no intention of becoming a famous artist. He initially studied medicine at the National Preparatory School with the dream of becoming a famous doctor. Tragically on September 17, 1925, while walking home from school, she was involved in a bus accident that severely affected her life. Frida was found by her then boyfriend Alejandro Gómez Arias with a section of the handrail pierced deeply into her body. Doctors believed there was no chance of saving her life and "treated other less seriously injured victims." Yet Gómez begged them to help his girlfriend until she was finally rushed into surgery. However, no one had faith that she would survive. Once she woke up from the coma, she found her body in a cast and only her head showing. He felt the stabbing pain in his stomach, as well as the pain he felt from his fractured pelvis, dislocated shoulder, and fractured spine. Despite all the pain, she only thought about her love who had not come to visit her since the day of the accident. When Frida was finally able to move one of her arms, she began writing letters to her boyfriend about the pain she felt. , and how much she missed it. She begged him to come back, but... middle of paper... incredible artist. Frida was a generous woman who helped other artists improve their skills and thoughts on canvas. He helped his students, who called themselves los Fridos, understand and appreciate their Mexican heritage which helped them express themselves. Its influences remain in monuments, restaurants and even cults. People liked Frida's personality and identified with her creative sense, her pain and her suffering. However his skills and talent were not recognized soon enough. Now, after his death, a museum has been set up displaying his works of art, and people still gather there today to look at his works in amazement. Even though Frida has been dead for almost two decades, she is still celebrated and considered a great woman. When she died, at her funeral their last tribute was: "Friend, sister of the people, great daughter of Mexico; you are still alive."
