"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 limited 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 painting, vibrant and heart-wrenching, is a testimony of her indomitable soul: celebration, blood, pain, and a vitality that allowed her to transform her suffering into art. Tireless fighter, she rebelled against established norms, determined to live life with an intensity only she could convey. The misfortunes and joys of her existence were absorbed by her brush, creating a unique work that still captivates the world today.

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

Critics have said:
"A delightful book, richly illustrated. Both the dreamlike, feminine, and organic imagery of the Mexican painter as well as her slight naivety and her visceral romanticism [...] are absorbed 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. Una Biografía is a cult work, a deep immersion into the life of a woman who never ceased to challenge conventions and who, through her art, taught us that pain can also be a path to freedom and creation.
