Icono

Icono is the Spanish term for “Icon.” This art category focuses on famous icons and figures over the years. In particular, Frida Kahlo, a Mexican artist known for her self-portraits. She became a cultural icon in the world and was more well known than her husband Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican mural artist. Her art has become an important part of women's art history and popular culture. Kahlo’s self-portraits inspired the two Deaf artists to merge Latina and Deaf cultures into their two artworks.
