Self-portrait of my tearful face, 2024
Oil paint on canvas, 60 cm x 80 cm
This self-portrait embodies despair, emptiness, and the overwhelming sense of worthlessness that can drive someone to the brink of giving up. While dark and gloomy, the piece serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human mind. It reflects the struggle of confronting negative emotions, yet highlights our ability to overcome them. Despite the heaviness, the painting symbolizes the transient nature of feelings, much like clouds passing through the sky, showing that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for recovery and renewal.
