"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"
Frida Kahlo was much more than a woman marked by pain and anguish. Her life was not confined to the shadow of Diego Rivera, her famous husband. On the contrary, she chose to be an artist full of strength, color, and passion. Her vibrant and heart-wrenching paintings are a testament to her indomitable soul: celebration, blood, pain, and a vitality that allowed her to transform her suffering into art. A tireless fighter, she rebelled against established norms, determined to live life with an intensity that only she could convey. The misfortunes and joys of her existence were absorbed by her brush, creating a unique body of work that continues to captivate the world even today.

Inspired by the experiences of this daring woman, the book offers an illustrated journey through Frida Kahlo's life, a biography that celebrates not only her art but also her incomparable spirit.

Critics have said:
"A delightful, lavishly illustrated book. Both the dreamlike, feminine, and organic imagery of the Mexican painter and her gentle naiveté and visceral romanticism [...] are assimilated by Hesse in that unmistakable style that fuses the synthetic with the organic, without falling into the baroque style so characteristic of Kahlo." – Javier Rubio Nomblot, ABC (Cultural)

Frida Kahlo: A Biography It is a cult classic, a deep dive into the life of a woman who never stopped challenging conventions and who, through her art, taught us that pain can also be a path to freedom and creation.
