Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter, who has achieved great international popularity. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of Mexico as well as European influences that include Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that symbolically express her own pain. Kahlo was married to and influenced by the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera and shared his Communist views. Although she has long been recognized as an important painter, public awareness of her work has become more widespread since the 1970's.

Details: This Day of the Dead altar doll is my tribute to Frida Kahlo, the great "woman of women". She is created in my unique conjure art tradition, combining the tradition of the Mexican calavera with New Orleans Voodoo art. She measures approximately 8 inches including the feathers on her head. Her face is hand-sculpted out of polymer clay with painted details. She is wearing vintage lace and ribbons, and adorned with flowers, feathers, and rhinestones. She is self-standing and comes signed for authenticity.
