Frida Kahlo Art Quotations

Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.

Painting completed my life.

I have never expected anything from my work but the satisfaction I could get from it by the very fact of painting and saying what I couldn't say otherwise.

Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe, where you were 'sure' of finding shirts.

It's not possible to present an accurate picture of our culture without all the voices of the people in the culture. So at the emerging level, you can't have a good survey art show without women and artists of color.

I paint my own reality.
