Self portrait
overview
Title - Self Portrait Size - 3 ft x 3 ft Medium - Hand built and gessoed canvas, acrylic , pencil sketch. Date - Apr 2024 In this painting I explore personal identity and cultural heritage in a “self-portrait”. Inspired by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, Vermeer's artwork displays the cultural narrative of wealthy Dutch people during the golden age of the Duthe history. Through a symbolic element such as a necklace, the cultural image is reflected. I was inspired by " girl with a pearl earring (1665)".
