Created with the authorisation of Picasso Administration, the experience draws on more than 450 works, archives and videos, offering a visual and sound journey through the major stages of his career, from Spain to France, from Les Demoiselles d’Avignon to Guernica. An immersive and emotional experience, accessible to all generations, rediscovering one of the absolute masters of modern art. Frida Kahlo, At the Very Heart Short programme – 14 minutes To plunge into the world of Frida Kahlo is to enter the heart of an intense life, shaped by passion, freedom and pain. This immersive experience invites visitors to discover the intimacy and creative power of the Mexican artist through an explosion of colours, symbols and emotions. Through monumental projections, the walls of the Carrières des Lumières trace the major stages of her life and work, from self-portraits marked by suffering to paintings that assert her identity and commitment. Here, Frida Kahlo transforms pain into art, and the personal into the universal.
