"Self-portrait of my tearful face", oil paint on canvas, 80 cm x 60 cm, 2024.
The self-portrait
represents despair
and emptiness.
Most of all, it depicts
an overwhelming
feeling of
worthlessness that
drives one to the
edge of giving up.
For sure that feeling
of wanting to give up
is not strange to
anyone, we all have
been there. Whilst
the painting is dark
and gloomy, it is a
reminder of the
strength of the
human mind. No
matter how
challenging it is to
tackle a negative
emotion, we will
bounce back to our
best selves. Despite
how difficult it can
be to live, to wake
up and get up from
bed, emotions are
like clouds passing
by the sky, they will
pass...
