Frida kept a diary during the last ten years of her life (1944-1954). In it he collects dreams, thoughts, memories and ideas, as well as numerous drawings and sketches, which he later captured in his paintings. This surprising and intimate document, which was kept under lock and key for approximately forty years, contains multiple signs of the complex personality of this outstanding Mexican artist.
Las dos Fridas is an illustrated album, aimed at children, in which, for the first time, it is Frida's voice that is heard, to explain to us in a sincere and moving way one of her first childhood memories: their friendship, age six, with an imaginary girl. Gianluca Folì 's illustrations, without trying to imitate Frida's unmistakable style, manage to capture, with a clean and vibrant line, the cosmogony and symbolism that already appear in the artist's words.
