This is probably one of my favorite self portraits that I have created. Originally a (quick) project for my painting class, this piece came to be an important stepping stone towards my personal artistic style.
This painting is actually really small, marking at a perfect four by four inch piece. The darker reds on the right side of the piece actually come off the page (.25inch-.5inch) to imitate a bloody wound. Most of my brush strokes come off the page (I forgot the term for this), and imitate Impressionist era artwork! Impressionism is actually my favorite era in art history and I find the roughness of these brush strokes and lack of realism to be beautiful!
This piece was also very much inpsired by my obsession with Rage Against the Machine..
What are your favorite eras of art?
