Self Portrait in Studio
I wanted to use technical skill to explore layered narrative to produce a self portrait. The drawing’s composition, with its art-within-art motif, invites viewers into a personal, almost introspective world, echoing the recursive nature of artistic creation itself. The choice to depict myself holding another artwork is a visual metaphor—it nudges viewers to consider not only how artists present themselves, but also how they value and interact with their own creations. The reflections in the glasses are particularly arresting; they not only demonstrate technical prowess with highlights and optical nuance but also gently underscore the idea of seeing—inwardly and outwardly. This motif hints at the multiplicity of perspectives an artist must hold: that of creator, subject, and observer.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
