The painting The Two Fridas (or Los Dos) by Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954) is a self-portrait depicting the artist sitting side by side with a mirror image of herself. The two friends painting shows how the two versions of Frida are connected by a shared blood vessel, symbolizing the deep connection and bond between them. The painting is often interpreted as a representation of Kahlo's dual identity and her struggles with her own sense of self. It is also interpreted as a representation of the emotional pain and suffering she experienced due to her tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera (1886 - 1957), as well as her feelings of isolation and loneliness. Some critics have also interpreted the painting as a feminist statement about the power of self-discovery and self-acceptance.
