Frida Kahlo

I am a Mexican painter of portraits, self-portraits and works drawn from the nature and artifacts of Mexico. I use a naive folk art style to question identity, postcolonialism, gender, class and race in Mexican society.

Reflection

An engraving apprenticeship built my drawing hand

Before I chose art as a career I studied drawing with printmaker Fernando Fernández and, in 1925, became his paid engraving apprentice; I also learned photo retouching. That training gave my art its precise line.

Principle

I paint for the Mexican people, not for the salon

My artistic ambition was to paint for the Mexican people. Within Mexicanidad I drew on Indigenous culture and folk art to resist the colonial idea that Europe defines civilization.
