About this artwork
I am represented as a carrot, smoking a cigarette, a bleeding memory of her (the larger girl) inspired by Magritte.
My dog is above her, close to her. The title mentions her selfishness towards me, my dog represents the opposite of that. Holding onto her, above her as he is in the end less selfish than her, better than her at least to me. In the title I say selfishness doesn't matter however I draw a very small apple on top of her face, representing… the smallness in her because of her selfishness, inspired again by M. I am represented as a carrot as well inspried by M. painting "The explanation."
The small apple on top of her face: that she is not that good anymore, that she is not a whole person, that her selfishness makes her small.
In the end however, the painting is an appreciation of her. That she matters to me still, that I want her there but something stops her.
My dog being present, the painting is also about him, how I adore him and worship him in ways I cannot her.
Leonor Vaz (or Dosia Kochanek) is a self-taught painter who has been painting since childhood and recently dedicated herself more seriously to her art. She embraces a contemporary, somewhat surrealist style, freely painting what she sees without reliance on prescribed techniques. Her work centers mostly on herself and her experiences with people, loss, love and hope - aiming to disrupt and challenge the viewer. Her art powerfully conveys personal storytelling and her nuanced perspectives on life’s most intimate moments. The theme of death is mostly always present, and of course her experience with psychosis. From a young age she was haunted with thanatophobia and has overcome it with her faith in God. There's a light and darkness always present in her paintings, where her mind rests, in between one and the other.
