I would describe this self-portrait as a thought-provoking composition. It’s a visual representation of my deepest emotions and thoughts. The war painting on my face served as a symbol of my experiences, and struggles, while the horned woman with long nails and the fighting rooster suggest the presence of inner/outer- demons and conflicts. The single red rose provides a touch of beauty and grace in contrast to the chaos depicted in the rest of the painting. The abstract background adds to the feeling of unpredictability and instability, mirroring my complex inner world. Overall, this self-portrait is a visually representation of my journey and the ongoing battles we all face within themselves in our attempts to make sense of our lives. My painting is an expression of my personal narrative and a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
