Frida Kahlo's life was profoundly shaped by her Mexican heritage, which was evident in her art. Growing up during the Mexican Revolution, she was influenced by indigenous traditions and folk art. Her struggles with health issues, stemming from polio and a severe bus accident, infused her works with themes of pain and identity. Kahlo's relationships, especially with Diego Rivera, further integrated her experience into her art, reflecting both personal and collective aspects of Mexican culture. Her style is characterized by vibrant colors and symbolism that echo her love for her country and its authenticity.
