2025

Frida Kahlo's unyielding spirit, activism, and unwavering commitment to her Mexican heritage have left an indelible mark on the art world. As a woman of color, she defied conventions and shattered glass ceilings, paving the way for future generations of all women artists. Through her vibrant and emotive works, Kahlo challenged traditional notions of beauty, identity, and feminism, inspiring countless women to reclaim their voices, cultures, and stories. Some of her art also serves as a powerful critique of the exploitative forces of capitalism, which have historically marginalized and oppressed indigenous cultures, women, and the working class. Today, Frida Kahlo's legacy continues to ignite progress, fueling a global movement that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and the unbridled power of women in art, while also confronting the dark underbelly of capitalism and its devastating impact on our communities and our planet. Frida also suffered chronic pain, having polio, polio vaccines weren’t created yet. She also suffered from a devastating vehicle accident at 18yrs, giving disabled artist around the world, the courage to create. She continued to paint until she was 47yrs old, painting Viva la Vida, Watermelons 8 days before her passing. “2025” painting has 4 of Fridas paintings combined, with the cat image from her ex-voto collection.
