Self portraits

A stylized self-portrait, inspired by the Old European Neolithic Goddess of Regeneration and Life and Antonello da Messina's "Salvator Mundi."
Immersed in vibrant shades of green against a dark background, the figure is masterfully constructed with dense parallel lines that shape the face, hair, and clothing, lending a dynamic and organic texture. The eyes are precisely delineated, while the torso features geometric patterns such as spirals and triangles in light green. Abstract shapes float in the surrounding space, enriching the composition. The slender hands hold pointed elements, evoking a primordial connection.

The work is a tribute to life through Art, which has always supported me in the most difficult moments and, like a Mother Goddess, raised and fed me.The work is signed by the artist and dated 2024.

This ink drawing depicts a stylized portrait that blends human features with those resembling an elephant. The face, framed by dark, flowing hair, reveals expressive eyes with pronounced eyelashes, while a sinuous trunk replaces the nose, curving downward with a lively rhythm of lines. The large, sharply defined ears complete the fusion of forms. The work is characterized by bold, dynamic lines that alternate in thickness, lending depth and movement to the composition.
At the bottom, a stylized paintbrush suggests the act of creation, confirming the artist’s identity.
