This painting is a self-portrait, my face covered in glitter
Although the glitter creates a sense of beauty and wonder, it serves as a metaphor for the subjects inner turmoil. The expression on the subjects face is one of longing and hopefulness, but also reveals a sense of sadness. The combination of emotions captures the complexity of the human experience and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life
As the artist and the subject of this painting, I wanted to explore the concept of self-discovery and the search for identity. The use of light and shadow represents the constant struggle between good and evil.
The glitter on the subject’s face represents the desire to find happiness and meaning in life, even in the darkest moments. It is a reminder that we all have the capacity to shine, even in the midst of pain and struggle.
