Question

How does Frida Kahlo's work reflect her identity? What are some other themes present in her work?

Answer 1

Answer:

The main themes in Frida Kahlo's work were, love, betrayal, pain, sickness, loss, her support for socialism, her mexican/mayan heritage and culture, family and friends, her sexuality and overall the very essence of herself - her own self portraits.

Her work is rich with symbolism and are deep reflections of her life and identity. Due to many severe health issues Frida spent a lot of time in her own company and therefore painted what she saw which was herself. In addition everything important that impacted her life from a child to an adult she painted. Her works are a representation of her as a strong woman, what she endured and how people and circumstances in her life affected her.
