SELF-PORTRAIT2

2018.09

​

I create this set of self-portraits using new techniques to get out of my comfort zone.

 

I learn from Pop art and Contemporary art styles, which are previously not what I am interested in. I use charcoal to outline my facial structure, spray water over it, and add opaque oil paints to create my sweating scene after exercising in the right painting. The combination of all these steps creates the effect of a Camera filter. The left painting has a reddish tone to express my inner passion for life and art. Lastly, the middle piece has a low saturation, which perfectly conveys the quiet side of me.
