Frida Kahlo.

Frdia Kahlo is one of my favourite artists. She is a little depressing, but she tells her story in her images and she relates herself to her work. I think she is very talented in her work, she was born in 1907, July 6th. She was very unlucky and was involved in a road accident in 1925, which left her having thirty-five operations and bed ridden for months at a time.

Her art work is very personal, she paints things that she loves most and also the things that she hates. She once said, 'I paint myself becuase i am often alone and i am the subject i know most.' Her self portraits are of herself, but some are not exactly as she was. She put things like a mono brow on her. She often looked dfferent in images, as though her features were different as she always did herself lying down, her mother had baught her a mirror which she put on her ceiling, purely for the fact that she could draw herself.
