Frida Kahlo

I am in agreement with everything my father taught me and nothing my mother taught me. ”

I am happy to be alive, as long as I can paint. ”

I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling. ”

I love you more than my own skin. ”

I don't know how to write love letters. ”

Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself. ”

Painting completed my life. ”

There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst. ”

They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality. ”

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality. ”
