Frida Kahlo Was born in 1907 in Mexico City. At 16, the bus she was travelling on collided with a streetcar and she was severely injured. This accident affected the rest of her life and her art. She began painting whilst recovering from her injuries. At first her work was true to life, but later it became more "dreamlike" in style, and eventually it became surrealistic.

She married the muralist Diego Rivera. Many of her paintings include portraits of her and Diego. Her work has been exhibited all around the world, including New York and Paris, and her paintings rank with the most valuable in the world.
