1. Frida Kahlo was a surreal artists mostly known for her self-portraits.

   Born: July 6, 1907, Coyoacán, Mexico.

   Died: July 13, 1954, Coyoacán, Mexico.

   This is a self-portrait painting of herself Frida Kahlo, it was painted in 1940.

   Measuring 16 x 24 cm.

   She has painted herself into an imaginary jungle surrounded by wild animals such as a monkey a cat and two mosquitoes with a green and yellow background of leafs.

   Kahlo painted a thorn like necklace around her neck to represent her suffocating or being trapped in reality.

   Kahlo is expressing her feelings through art and painting from her own head, Kahlo has painted this self-portrait in a very surreal like way, in a jungle like place.

   Kahlo might be giving a message that she is lost or trapped in reality and doesn't know how to get out, it might even represent herself and her nightmares.

   I find this piece very fascinating and powerful.

   
   

   This painting has also a great range of bright colours and really stands out.
