Best Answer

Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907 - July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter who depicted the indigenous culture of her country in a style combining Realism, Symbolism and Surrealism.

Drawing on personal experiences including her troubled marriage, her painful miscarriages, and her numerous operations, Kahlo's works are often characterized by their stark portrayals of pain. Fifty-five of her 143 paintings are self-portraits, which frequently incorporate symbolic portrayals of her physical and psychological wounds. Kahlo was deeply influenced by indigenous Mexican Culture, which is apparent in her paintings' bright colors and dramatic symbolism. Christian and Jewish themes are often depicted in her work as well; she combined elements of the classic religious Mexican tradition--which were often bloody and violent--with surrealist renderings. While her paintings are not overtly Christian--she was, after all, an avowed communist--they certainly contain elements of the macabre Mexican Christian style of religious paintings.

She always used Indian colors (bold and bright) because she loved how i represented the world around her. And that world was pain and suffering because she saw it, even among her parents.

Which artists and art styles inspired frida's paintings?

Frida Kahlo is an artist who was inspired less by the works of others as she was by her own internal life. Her subject matter was nearly exclusively self-portraiture, yet done in a manner that seems to straddle the line between surrealism and magic realism. Her technique is what academics call "naive." She really had little if any formal training. She was mocked by most when political muralist Diego Rivera famously gave her the first kind words said about her work
