What is striking to you about this artist's self-portrait?
What do you think the artist is trying to portray?
How do you think you can adapt this work into your self-portrait?
What I see: I see a departure from conventional realism, replaced by bold and expressive brushwork. His use of vibrant colors and distorted forms suggests an exploration of inner emotions rather than a straightforward depiction of physical likeness.
What do you think the artist is trying to portray?: Picasso seems to be portraying a sense of inner emotional intensity. The exaggerated features and intense colors convey a raw and introspective mood, inviting viewers to go into and understand the artist's perspectives.
How do I want to adopt this style to my self portrait?: I will focus on capturing the essence of your emotions and inner experiences rather than aiming for a perfect likeness. Will use bold brushstrokes, vibrant hues, and unconventional compositions to convey the depth of your feelings and thoughts. Allow myself to distort and stylize your features to reflect the complexity of your identity. Freely express myself with expressive brushwork and colour choices.
