Diving into the rich tapestry of culture and identity, Jules Holland's latest artprint celebrates Frida Kahlo’s spirit with vibrant hues and a captivating blend of Native American influence. Frida Kahlo, born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón on July 6, 1907, in Coyoacán, Mexico City, stands as one of the most celebrated and influential artists of the 20th century. Renowned for her distinctive self-portraits and vibrant use of color, Kahlo's art deeply explores themes of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.

While Kahlo's work is often classified as surrealist, she rejected this label, insisting that she painted her own reality. Her art masterfully blends personal experience with Mexican cultural elements. Iconic paintings such as "The Two Fridas" (1939), "Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird" (1940), and "The Broken Column" (1944) vividly portray her physical and psychological wounds, enriched with rich symbolism and striking imagery.
