FACES
Series of self portraits
2021
Acrylic on paper
48 x 36 cm (each)
There is an ongoing inquiry in my work: who am I today?
During Covid-19 days, I investigated this question through a series of self portraits on paper. Each portrait interprets the face at a given day and time, the face that was looking back from the mobile phone’s selfie camera. Rather than forms, I engage each day in a game of selecting three colors that will represent each face´s levels of light and shadow. The literal, physical lights and shadows, as well as the energetic, emotional ones that were present at the time.
