About this artwork

The artwork "Let me take a selfie", part of the "We Are the Next Generation" project, captures a distinctly contemporary attitude, where self-expression and control over one's image are paramount. The intense gaze and frontal pose of the young woman reflect not just the act of taking a selfie, but a deeper desire to claim how she is perceived by others.

Her voluminous hair, adorned with vibrant details, and oversized jewelry suggest a strong personality… asserting itself visually. The urban background provides a subtle contrast, highlighting the connection between the individual and the everyday environment. The title "Let me take a selfie" goes beyond selfie culture, speaking to a generation that carefully constructs its image and claims its place in the world through what it chooses to project.

Matei, a painter and conceptual visual artist from Romania, delves into the human experience. He intriguingly blends photorealism with neorealism, creating hyper-detailed and introspective figures in oil paint. His work provocatively explores the past, present, and future, casting light on humanity's ever-evolving challenges and possibilities.
