A moving double self-portrait: Frida facing herself, between intimate pain and torn identity

Painted in 1939, shortly after her divorce from Diego Rivera, The Two Fridas is undoubtedly one of Frida Kahlo's most powerful and symbolic paintings. In this large double self-portrait, the artist explores her own emotional, cultural, and affective fragmentation. This major work of Mexican surrealism combines psychological introspection, national iconography, and bodily pain, in an unforgettable composition.

Two hearts, two Fridas, the same suffering

The European Frida and the Mexican Frida

Sitting side by side on a bench, connected by an open vein and by their invisible link, two versions of Frida face each other.
– On the left, Frida in a white Victorian dress, pale, fragile, holding a medical clamp to stop a hemorrhage.
– On the right, Frida in traditional Mexican Tehuana attire, strong and rooted, holding a small image of Diego Rivera.

Between them flows an anatomical heart, visible and connected, half-open, half-intact, evoking the wounds of a torn love but also the conflict between two cultural identities: the colonial Europe and the indigenous Mexico.

The cloudy, stormy background enhances the dramatic and introspective character of the painting.

A work born from rupture and resilience

Frida Kahlo paints The Two Fridas shortly after her separation from Diego Rivera. She projects her solitude, her physical and emotional pain, but also her will to resist and rebuild herself. This work is a metaphor for the duality of the soul, the body, and the nation, embodied by the artist herself.
