    A self-portrait is a drawing, painting or photograph of oneself
    that shows the persons feelings at that time that can be
    represented in different colours:
    Sad(blue)
    Happy or joyful(yellow)
    It tells you whether the artist is a sad person or a very joyful
    person or if the artist is a free artist or if the artis is a patient
    artist. FOR Example, In Frida Kahlo’s paintings you will se
    colours like green and you will see leaves which means she is
    a person that loves nature and animals.

    Frida Kahlo
    Mexican painter Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y
    Calderón is well-known for her multiple self-portraits and
    works that take inspiration from Mexican landscape and
    items. She was born 6th July 1907. She died 13 July 1954. A
    unibrow was a feature of both Frida Kahlo's personal and
    creative style. She maintained a moustache and a unibrow
    as a criticism of male and female beauty standards. She
    was inspired by her husband Diego Rivera and portrayed
    herself in her paintings with similar characteristics as
    well. Because of her unique personality and interesting
    life, Frida Kahlo has gained popularity among the public.
    She has identified herself as a role model for women's
    inner strength, love of Mexico and its culture, and bravery
    in the face of difficulty. She was a sincere person who
    stood by her beliefs above all else. Kahlo was a talented
    student going for medical school despite being afflicted by
    polio as a child, but she was hurt in a bus accident when
    she was 18 years old, leaving her with lifelong agony and
    medical issues. She went back to her early love of art after
    her recovery with the goal of becoming an artist. Her
    siblings were:

    Christina Kahlo
