Self PortraitOil on Stretched Canvas
This painting to me started off as just a personal excercise in rendering facial structure and fabric, as i started to work on the background it turned into this weird nightmare scene, my profesor kept asking me why i was painting it like that, and at the time my only answer was that its all i could think of. I was thinking more about this idea of why I paint what I paint as the semester went on, and i think it boils down to me painting things that i see and other people don't. weather this be dream like scenes from the depths of my imagination or places that very few people get so see in real life. It seems one of my goals is to put the abstract into something more concrete.
