D'Argenta
Portrait of Frida Kahlo

Elite artist

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo made her life into her work. She painted herself again and again, with her jade necklaces, her flowers and her wounds, until that gaze became a symbol of Mexico.

The pieces in this collection come from her paintings and from the way she dressed, and were created in collaboration with Frida Kahlo's family.

Coyoacán, 1907

She was born on 6 July 1907 at the Casa Azul in Coyoacán and died there on 13 July 1954. At eighteen, a bus accident kept her in bed for months. Her mother had a special easel made and hung a mirror above the bed. That is how the self-portraits began.

She painted pain without asking for pity, and joy without asking for permission.

“Feet, what do I need them for if I have wings to fly?”
Frida Kahlo, in her diary

What she wore

She dressed as a Tehuana, in long skirts, with flowers in her hair and necklaces of jade and pre-Hispanic beads. It was not a costume: it was a statement of where she came from and who she meant to be.

Our vases take that idea. The silhouette of a bust becomes the canvas and, on it, a jewel: green jade, black pearls, gold, silver or indigenous ornament.

From her paintings to sculpture

Me and My Parrots, 1941. The Broken Column, 1944. Viva la Vida, 1954, her last work, with those words written across a watermelon. Every sculpture in the collection begins with a particular painting and carries it into metal without losing its character.

Every piece is finished by hand in silver, 24-karat gold or copper in our workshop in Mexico City, a few kilometres from the Casa Azul.
