Summary/Abstract: Influential over the artistic world, Frida Kahlo has succeeded in becoming iconic due to a series of aspects related to her work, life and drama, fundamental elements of her existence that have changed the perception of her art consumers and not only. This article briefly addresses the three components, especially the artistic one, that we have taken into consideration only within her diary, after which the facsimile The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self Portrait was made. The main idea we will insist on is that of the flight, performing an analysis on it in certain notable contexts, because, for Kahlo, the flight represented a form of escapism from the overwhelming reality she was living.
