Self-portrait 1 (2025)

This painting, part of the Self-Portrait series, explores the depths of the human psyche through the symbolism of traditional flower vessels. However, in this piece, the vessel takes the form of a dog’s head, captured in an aggressive mood—its bared teeth and tense expression embodying raw instinct, protection, and the untamed aspects of the mind. Like the vessel, our consciousness holds a delicate balance between beauty and darkness, order and chaos. Within its space, vibrant flowers bloom alongside lurking demons, sharp knives, and coiling serpents—each element a reflection of our innermost fears and desires.

Although titled Self-Portrait, this painting is not a literal representation of the artist. Instead, the title serves as a lens through which viewers can connect with the work on a personal level, inviting them to see their own internal struggles mirrored in its imagery. The piece challenges us to confront the duality within ourselves, where fragility and danger coexist in the intricate landscape of the soul.
