Many of you have seen the image of Frida Khalo, printed on pillows, shoes, earrings, cell phone covers and mugs. But do you know the story behind this remarkable woman? Who is this woman rocking the unibrow and flower crown?

She is an incredible artist that showed us her inner world with her super personal paintings. Frida made between 150 and 200 paintings in her life out of which 55 are self-portraits. She is known as the master of Self-Portraits.

If you think about it she is the original Queen of Selfies Making a statement with her intense stare and beautiful Mexican style. In an age of liposuction, face-lifts and hair removal, there's something refreshing and liberating in coming to know a woman who flaunts the "defects" most women try to cover up. Below the surface of her "take me as I am" attitude, however, lurked larger issues.

Frida had a life filled with emotional and physical pain yet she became an influential artist. She has overcome her challenges and suffering using her art as healing. Documenting her struggles in her paintings, leaving us an autobiography in paint. She used her suffering to create astonishing original art. She has become a symbol of dignity out of adversity.
