Most famous for her romantic side, her wit, charm, artistic ability, and yes, her unapologetic unibrow, Frida Kahlo is one of my personal heroes. A peek at a few of the things she's said, and you'll see why... and maybe she'll inspire your inner artist, too.

I Never Painted My Dreams...
Actually, I think she said she never painted her dreams or nightmares...
Lovely. She and her husband, Diego Rivera, were known as the Elephant and the Dove. He thought she was beautiful, and loved her universe and mustache😊When they argued she'd cut some of her hair to hurt his feelings.
¡Que viva Frida!
#9 is incorrectly translated. It should read "every time I talk to you, I die a bit more"
And my favorite: "I was born a bitch. I was born a painter. I was born fucked. But I was happy in my own way"
Her life was so tragic, that's why her paintings and quotes were so deep. Diego made her suffer and he was unfaithful. I went to their museum where they used to live in Mexico and it was amazing. I really appreciate her work.
Lo que no me mata me alimienta... She truly is amazing.
Lovely, except for her mustache
Beautiful woman. Amazing artist.
Such an inspiration and beauty!
DEF one of my favorite artists!!
