Category: Epic 2 – Finding JLW
I am curious as to why artists do self-portraits. After putting it into practice, I realize it is an exercise in psychological self-exploration. Unlike facing a model, I face up to my questions myself whilst creating or recreating the image. Instead of painting an accurate likeness, I choose to explore the projection of who I want to be or not want to be, mingled with endless curiosity, doubt, joy, skepticism, pride, fear, desire, freedom and so on… I find the process provides me with an opportunity to face myself with more honesty and veracity.
