Self Portrait
Title: Changes
Size: 91.44 cm. x 91.44 cm. (full piece) Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Completion: July 20th, 2023 Exhibition Text: Changes is a painting inspired by Ambrosius Bosschaert and his colorful still-lives of flowers. The theme behind the piece surrounds change and the push of change throughout human life. The push of change is portrayed as beautiful and smooth as it is influenced by Bosschaert's delicate, dainty flowers. The self portrait is an example of my life and how I am ready for the changes in my life next to come: college. I show the idea of a big change in my life as a positive thing by using flowers, representing growth. Physically, the piece is split in two. The final piece on the right indicates the act of change and the piece on the right is me and my current life. |
