| I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality. |

|
|
| Painting completed my life. |
|

|
|
| Really I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself. |

|
| I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim. |

| I have suffered two grave accidents in my life, one in which a streetcar knocked me down. The other accident is Diego (Rivera). |

|
| They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality. |

|
|
| I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint. |
|

|
|
| I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best. |
|
| Frida Kahlo |
|
|
| 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. |
|
| Frida Kahlo |
|
|
| Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself |
