About this artwork
In the self-portrait that the artist has brought to light there is a silent but deafening dialogue with the soul. He chose watercolor, tempera and pastel, tools that in their essence bring fluidity and definition, to narrate on a canvas where blue and orange dance together in an embrace that challenges the monotony of the visible.
Facial blue is not just a color; it is a declaration, a stormy sea that reflects the unreality of an imposed identity.… And there, among the waves of this sea, a beard courageously emerges, witness to a beauty that is linked to the bearded woman of the past, the one who the world relegated to the role of a freak. But here, in this sacred space that the artist has created, the beard becomes a symbol of rebellion, an act of love towards oneself and of challenge towards those who want to pigeonhole existence into the confines of an asphyxiating normality.
