Painting my first self-portrait was mostly a meditative experience. I intended to portray my inner self, observing my self. Contemplating, analysing where I am at, at this point in life.
As a result of this period being isolated, living by myself, in a small town after growing up in a big crowded city and having a fast pace of life, I had the opportunity to dig deep inside, to rediscover myself, to heal, to truly see me in every stroke.
