Original artwork description:

Heart was an important image in the work and life of Frida ... her love for Diego Rivera was fundamental. She had a "sui generis" ability to love madly.
Her love for hair adorned with colorful flowers, red lips, colorful dresses and many rings makes her a perfect queen so I think she is a perfect queen of hearts!

She was characterized by a exotic beauty, a feminine strength, Mexican cultural identity and by her strong personality, independent and rebellious.

After her death at the age of forty-seven in 1954, the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo became first a legend, then a myth, and now a cult figure." Thus was Frida Kahlo described by her biographer Hayden Herrera in 1992.

Some of her quotes about her love
"I love you more than my own skin and even though you dont love me the same way, you love me anyways, dont you? And if you dont, I will always have the hope that you do, and I am satisfied with that. Love me a little. I adore you." - Frida Kahlo

- "I have suffered two grave accidents in my life, one in which a streetcar knocked me down... The other accident is Diego. Diego was by far the worst" - Frida Kahlo
