Egoportraits
I paint impermanence by representing the decrepitude of the material, the support, and the subject. This decay is expressed by the texture treated in trompe l'oeil, sometimes, integrated flat onto the support, sometimes processed according to the volume of the subject in playful jousting of juxtapositions between the representation of reality and reality itself. My work is an allegory that is proposing images that contradict the instantaneous, the ephemeral youth, the seduction, the desire with the passage and the outrage of time, symbolized by the canvas - the support - which will seem torn or disintegrated in some paintings, while the matter/ the painting itself as a medium, will seem decrepit. This series is called "Egoportraits". The technique used is acrylic painting on canvas. The format of the paintings in this series is 70 cm X 100 cm / 27 inches / 39 inches Berlin, July 2020
