This painting is a selfportrait of myself. The message I am trying to convey is sadness with a sense of mystery. The eyes not directly looking forward give this painting the impression as though I am looking at something into the offset distance which evokes mystery into the viewer. What am I really looking at with such an intense gaze?
The colors chosen help express the emotions I am trying to convey. I painted myself entirely blue because this specific color is generally most accosiated with sadness or mourning. The vivid, bright yellow background adds severe contrast to this piece. I choose such a dramatic background color to contrast the dark shades of blue and to enstill more intense dramatic emotions within the viewer .
