Self-Portrait

Acrylic paint on bristol board, 273cm x 156cm, October 2019

This piece was made to represent my own identity and personality. The piece is almost life size, and when positioned correctly, it is directly confronting the viewer. The painterly brush stroke serves to create a whimsical yet chaotic atmosphere, and green monotone as well as the two panels to the left and right of the subject work to immerse the viewer in a natural atmosphere that has a contrasting aspect of uneasiness.
