Self Portrait 1

I would like to write some feedback on this work of yours, especially because it has no critiques yet and since I saw this painting yesterday, I kept thinking about it.

This painting has incredible impact. It has a meaning and it's full of it, every little piece. I see a lot of symbols: the red rose, two color background strictly divided in two uneven parts, diffusing on the face. For some reason I am deeply aware of the fact that the line crosses one eye and I tend to think it was done purposely, too. Red lips matching the rose are such strong symbol of femaleness, yet trapped with cold part of the painting.

And than the eyes. Those are the breaking point. They tell the whole story and are so true and honest, as if this is their last opportunity to tell us. Lips don't speak, eyes do.

Now I should be looking for a minus to discuss, right? If you have painted something to be a decoration, I could find minuses. But this is a portrait of your soul. And I feel that I understand you in some ways. Thank you for sharing this painting, it's quite the experience to see it.
