Artist Statement:
It would not be too much to say that an artist’s self-referential perspective, which is the origin of all artistic perception, is concentrated in the self portrait.
Each person’s life an d death is limited by time. Within these limits, in the momentary artistic consciousness, the artist’s whole way of thought is captured in a microcosm of a lifetime’s achievement, compressed and self-represented as a self-portrait.
