Soliloquy

This self-portrait captures a moment of deep introspection, built through layers of pinks, salmons, and browns applied with gestural palette knife strokes. By scratching back the paint, I emphasize both form and structure, revealing the rawness beneath.

On the left, sharp purple lines evoke the presence of a curtain, while on the right, bold black shapes carve into the portrait, creating a fragmented, mask-like effect. This interplay of concealment and revelation reflects my fascination with theatre and performance, particularly soliloquies, where one reveals their soul in solitude.
