“Self-portrait with divergent memories” (2025)
Acrylic on canvas. Unframed.
39" x 39" / 100cm x 100cm
Memories from the distant past don’t make sense because they seem to have their own life in my imagination. They contradict each other. They change according to how my day is going, and how my moods are shifting. Because of this I try to avoid concrete thoughts and instead try to catch images that float into my head. In this way I free my mind so that the world appears full of possibility; nothing is fixed; everything is mysterious. Then I select one image that makes a direct emotional impact on me but also one which I don’t understand completely, one that has no easy, rational or conscious explanation. I exaggerate this personal experience by pouring everything expressive into the flesh, where the painting is most alive.
Please be advised, a tray frame would add about an inch to the size of the canvas.
Screen colours can vary among computers, so please know that there may be a slight variation in real life. Every effort has been made to represent the artwork most accurately to the original painting.
