Captured a number of years ago this self portrait was finished in pencil and watercolour. For me this was a time that was particularly special in my heart. The freedoms I had, the time and willingness to fling myself into places and people. This felt like the springboard of my life. Creating this gave me time to register and reflect. The self portrait can do this..Do you think this is always the case nostr:npub1fv9u4drq4hdrr7k45vn0krqy7mkgy8ajf059m0wq8szvcrsjlsrs8tdz3p

This is a beautiful and deliberately light and delicate work of art. I can relate well to your explanation. I believe that artistic self-reflection does something to us. You get deeper into the here and now and ask yourself: how am I feeling right now, how can I do justice to my vibe artistically? I also believe that changes, hard cuts and dealing with pain produce the most interesting works. But my friend, you are allowed to break the rules as long as you create an actual self-portrait for us :)
I love the explanation of the artist here, so much to learn. Also I have be been to the Ryksmuseum and have seen some Rembrandt paintings live. Unbelievably detailed and just mindbliwingly beautiful. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=148&v=YoR8rTBbK9k&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title
