Frida Kahlo

I never knew I was a surrealist till Andre Breton came to Mexico and told me I was.

About Me

I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
Painting completed my life.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
My painting carries with it the message of pain.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mis Amigos

Salvador Dalí Vincent Van Gogh Francisco de Goya Caravaggio

Henri Matisse Pierre Renoir Paul Cezanne Leonardo da Vinci

M. C. Escher El Greco Wassily Kandinsky Claude Monet

Heroes:

Diego Rivera

His capacity for work breaks clocks and calendars.
I cannot speak of Diego as my husband because that term, when applied to him, is an absurdity. He never has been, nor will he ever be, anybody’s husband.
The most interesting thing about the so-called lies of Diego is that, sooner or later, the ones involved in the imaginary tale get angry, not because of the lies, but because of the truth contained in the lies, which always comes forth.
