The Textured Self-Portrait (2021)

Unlike the artist’s other works, this piece is a face portrait where the impasto (texture) of the oil paint is heavily emphasized. The seemingly closed eyes give an impression of introspection, while the blend of intense colors like pink, yellow, and orange expresses the complex, deep emotional layers of an individual. The texture itself visually conveys the roughness of emotion and the weight of life, making it a profound self-portrait.
