Artwork title : Self-portrait

Oil on canvas, 50x40 cm, 2021

This is the first self-portrait I have completed in my life. You must be thinking that if this is my first self-portrait, then why am I making it so colourful? Well although it is bright and colourful, my face is not demonstrating the same emotions. In this work, I am showcasing diverse feelings. In terms of colours, blue represents sadness, yellow means joyfulness, red refers to anger, green illustrates disgust and purple means fear. But my face isn’t giving any emotion and stays detached from the struggles and joys of life.
