Abstract: Many of the works of Mexican female painter Frida Kahlo were created in the sweetness and pain of love, and her ups and downs in love with Diego Rivera have become part of her creative inspiration. This article takes Frida Kahlo's six works -- "Frida and Diego Rivera", "The Two Fridas", "Self Portrait with Cropped Hair", "Diego in My Thoughts", "Diego and Frida" and "Diego and I" -- as examples to analyze how her emotions are externalized into certain meaningful forms, thus creating rich visual language, artistic appeal, and aesthetic effects. These six works demonstrate Frida Kahlo's creative tendencies and artistic features, such as her emphasis on details and symbolism, her ability to construct a comprehensive text that echoes images and words, her strong feelings, intense moods, and extraordinary imagination that together construct a rich and complex artistic world. The diverse and intricate imagery triggers infinite speculation and association among viewers, and the tension of the painting language makes her works infectious and touching.
