Frida's Space

This portrait of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo at work is a visual biography depicting her art, life, and culture. This work by Garcia-Bernal portrays both the painful and the peaceful, loving aspects of Kahlo's life using symbolic images of roots, leaves, and calla lilies.

Garcia-Bernal paints Kahlo at work and at peace. The symbolic imagery, and the traditional Mexican clothing and hairstyle Kahlo is wearing, re-interpret and celebrate Kahlo's iconic visual language in Garcia-Bernal's own style.
