Frida Kahlo

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

I love you more than my own skin.

Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?

I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.

Feet: Why do I need them if I have wings to fly?

I hope the leaving is joyful, and I hope never to return

     "There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst."

I paint myself because... I am the person I know best.

I paint my own reality. 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.
