Original artwork description:

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist, known thanks to Madonna the singer. After "Reinas sin corona", I started this collection where I delved a little into the history of women who have been invisible in the history of art, in some way the macho history took charge of not recognizing their work. Although there are few women artists who really lived from their work, they weren't recognized as her husbands / lovers, some of them were also artists. In this case, Frida was a woman with many health problems, since she was 6 years old she suffered polio, she was nicknamed the one with the wooden leg because she had a very thin leg. When she was young she had an accident that caused her to have 32 operations, during her short life and later she lost her right leg. And well, as we all know, Frida always wanted to have children, she had three abortions that made her suffer and led her to depression. Despite her physical circumstances, she did not stop painting, some even say that this was what kept her alive, and of course I do not doubt that painting is a great escape of reality. The works that are presented are those that in my opinion are the best. Also, I didn't want to make them exact, but I even improved some parts of her works that I think had some anatomical and color errors.
