Frida

Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) lived her rebellion on her own skin.

After a near-fatal bus accident at 18, she turned to painting as survival. But her art became more than personal. It became political. She challenged beauty norms, gender roles, and the limits placed on disabled bodies.

In this 1946 self-portrait, she wears a suit, cuts off her long hair, and looks straight at the viewer. Painted after a breakup with Diego Rivera, it’s a quiet act of defiance. Under the painting, she writes:
“Look, if I loved you, it was for your hair. Now you’re bald, I don’t love you anymore.”

Frida was unapologetically herself: queer, disabled, communist, and feminist in a world that rejected all four.

This piece honors her not just as an artist, but as a voice of resistance.
