She married the famous muralist Diego Rivera, and their tumultuous relationship often influenced her art.
Some of her most renowned works include “The Two Fridas,” “Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird,” and “The Broken Column.”
In 1925, Frida’s life changed dramatically when she was involved in a devastating bus accident that left her with severe injuries, including a broken spinal column, fractured pelvis, and numerous other fractures.
During her recovery, Frida began to paint, using art as a way to express her physical and emotional pain.
