Frida Kahlo het met haar skilderye dikwels na Meksiko se vroeë Asteekse en Maya-kuns verwys en daarnaas ook die Europese kunsgeskiedenis gereflekteer. Haar werke behandel eweneens sosiale en politieke kwelvrae. Haar betekenis as kunstenares word bevestig deur haar indrukwekkende verwerking van haar persoonlike lyde, veral haar chroniese siekte, maar ook haar huweliksprobleme. 55 van haar 143 skilderye is selfportrette.
