In my studio, 2023
115 x 150 cm
Acrylic paint, image transfer on canvas
For a while I was playing with the idea to paint myself, plain in the studio. This seemed like a crazily brave act, something I had to be ready to do. 2022 was a challenging year professionally, I have been rejected and I questioned myself countless times, my self esteem was like roller coaster. Coming home from the UK, where I interviewed with Tracey Emin for , I got reassured in myself. That good old feeling of joy sneaked back to my creative process. I started painting this immediately. Now, after 2 months it is ready. It is my manifesto to always look ahead, stand up when it is difficult and never let anyone affect how I see myself.
Everyone who saw this painting sees a different emotion on my face in this painting. I’m curious what you see 👀
