Title: Self Portrait
Size: 91.44cm x 91.44cm Medium: Oil Paint on Canvas Completion: April 2023 Exhibition Text:
As a Junior nearing the end of the school year, stress and anxiety is a thing I can't seem to escape. Feeling constantly overwhelmed with my school workload as well as many daily life things, this painting expresses that feeling. This painting was inspired by The Desperate Man by Gustave Coubet and the composition of the painting as well as the meaning. Through this painting I am able to express my emotions instead of pushing them down revealing a vulnerable part of myself I don't like to show. |
