Self-portraits (1999)
...............
getting to know the streets (1999)................... helping man (1999)
............watching educational t.v. (1999)
this was an exercise on self-portrait. i don't like portraying my self but it worked better than i expected. mainly the topic on them was a critique to my lack of activity during that time. days gone and nothing done. periods of nothingness that have cost me much. in them i introduced for the first time the actual photo in the painting, making a game between representation of a representation. (painting-photo-"reality"). if i remember right i made them all with the fingers in an attempt to give a deeper self. again using the ink as the source.
