Artwork Description

Self-portrait in evening dress

30.0 x 40.0 cm

“In this self-portrait, I sought to capture a moment in my life when I felt my features were undergoing a profound transformation. It speaks of the tension between my longing to live fully and pursue my dreams, and the reflection of a face and body inevitably moving toward age and decline. In this new chapter of my life, I feel an even stronger need to let my paintings speak for me—to leave behind a personal trace of my existence and the journey that has shaped it.”
