Frida Kahlo 
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter born in Coyoacán. She is said to be perhaps best known for her self-portraits, as many of her pieces are juxtapositions of herself. Kahlo's work is remembered for its "pain and passion" with intense, vibrant colors and unique elements in her work such as animals, plants, and contrasts such as light and dark and day and night. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition. It has also be marked memorial by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.
