Partly unpublished, the images of the Colombian photographer - born in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magical Macondo - capture one by one all the facets of Frida's personality, who posed casually in front of the lens, choosing theself-portrait as an expressive form of his troubled inner world.

Leo Matiz and Frida Kahlo were in fact very friends and their bond is all described in those deep, mysterious and unique shots.
