dys-figuration I

  1. looks kind of spooky , grain reminds of very old silent movies .
    lately you have shown many pictures where you show your
    eyes ... that´s unusual . i have thought of painting a selfie with
    eyes , but capturing just right expression , that´s difficult .

    1. with painting it's different of course. but selfs are always a fascinating exercise i find. and not like some people might think by narcissism.
      it's a different process for the artist.

      yes, spooky :) there's a big deformation of the face, shot through a crystal cut vase,
      the grain comes from the bad quality of the image (iPad camera, candle light) i was experimenting, a day when we didn't have electricity.
      showing my eyes lately.. well, it may be a coincidence.
      posting images does not come in the order of editing them, so one cannot try to guess the state of mind of the artist by his images i think..

    2. one can quess what impression artist wants to make for audience
      for showing chosen work at the certain moment ; )
      i have made dozens of selfs during years , and i totally agree .
      making them is interesting process , that put´s some psychic strain
      on the maker ( not always , but often it does ) .
      Making portraits of other people is in someways very similar
      process , at least with painting .
