Self-Portrait with pearl earring

25.0 x 40.0 cm

"My goal with this painting was to portray myself by going beyond my reflected image. I wanted an image devoid of any indulgence in or complacency with my current appearance but full of that tension that rises from the need to be able to express all of myself in paint—the tension and the fascination of continuous research that is never completely satisfied. I wanted it to depict the contemporaneity of an artist with a long life behind her but still with the desire to express many things."
