About the Item

Frida Kahlo - Self-Portrait as a Tehuana Date of creation: 2025 Medium: Digital print on Canadian maple wood Edition: Open Size: 80 x 20 cm Condition: In mint conditions and never displayed Skate deck made of 7 ply grade A Canadian maple wood. ©2025 Banco de México Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo Museums Trust, Mexico, D.F. / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York In Self-Portrait as a Tehuana (also known as Thinking of Diego), Frida Kahlo doesn’t just paint herself—she makes a statement. Draped in the traditional white lace headdress of the women from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec—a symbol of strength, femininity, and indigenous pride—Frida transforms into a sort of patron saint of impossible love. But the most striking detail isn’t the dress or the flowers. It’s on her forehead: Diego Rivera’s face is painted like a tattooed thought on her mind. Because when Frida loves, she does it with the intensity of an erupting volcano and the precision of Oaxacan embroidery. Diego on My Mind, as the alternate title says, and there’s no doubt he occupies her mind, her canvas, and—quite possibly—her sleepless nights. Her gaze is calm, almost stoic, yet the black threads extending from her headdress—like roots or tangled thoughts—suggest that love, for her, is not just a matter of the heart. It is identity, obsession, inner struggle, and also creation. With this portrait, Frida shows us that love isn’t always soft or decorative. Sometimes it’s a crown that weighs heavy, a tattooed memory, a reason to keep painting... even through tears. ABOUT THE ARTIST Frida Kahlo was born in the Blue House of Coyoacán, Mexico, in 1907—although she later claimed to have been born in 1910, aligning her birth with the start of the Mexican Revolution. It wasn’t vanity; it was a statement. Frida didn’t just live through time—she reimagined it with every brushstroke. As a child, she contracted polio, leaving one of her legs thinner than the other. To compensate, she developed an even larger personality. But it was in 1925, when a streetcar accident shattered her spine, pelvis, and much of her body, that her life split in two—literally and symbolically. Most would have been defeated. Frida turned pain into language. During her recovery, she began to paint. A mirror placed above her bed allowed her to transform her face into fertile ground for symbolism, memory, and resistance. She didn’t paint what she saw—she painted what she felt, remembered, endured. Her self-portraits were not simply likenesses but visual manifestos: her face framed by monkeys, thorns, flowers, roots, corsets, and, always, that singular unibrow—one bold line of unbroken thought. In 1929, she married the muralist Diego Rivera, launching one of the most tempestuous love stories in art history. Their relationship was marked by infidelities, separations, and reconciliations—fuel for both drama and creativity. “I had two accidents in my life,” she once quipped, “one was the streetcar, the other was Diego. Diego was the worst.” And still, she loved him. In her own way. Frida was political, communist, a voracious reader, a collector of traditional dress, a lover of men and women, a bold hostess, and a tireless provocateur. Her unique style—embroidered huipils, long skirts, floral crowns, and Indigenous jewelry—was not just fashion, but a cultural and personal declaration. Aesthetic and ideology intertwined. Though she exhibited in Paris and New York and earned the admiration of figures like Picasso and Breton, during her lifetime she was often seen as “Diego Rivera’s eccentric wife” more than as an artist in her own right. It wasn’t until decades after her death in 1954 that her legacy truly exploded: feminist, queer, Latin American, unrepentantly original. Today, Frida Kahlo is far more than an artist—she is a symbol of resistance, radical authenticity, and fierce beauty. Her legacy transcends museums and textbooks to live on in popular culture, street art, tattoos, fashion, and, above all, in the hearts of those who see in her the proof that art doesn’t need permission to be truth. Frida never sought immortality. And yet, she found it.
