A COMMENT ON SELF-PORTRAITURE AND THE PAINTING PROCESS

AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS LIKE FRIDA KAHLO, BECAUSE I KNEW MYSELF BEST, AND THEN I ENDED UP LIKE GOYA, EXCEPT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS. SELF PORTRAITURE GAVE ME TRUTH IN A HEAD FILLED WITH DELUSION. A CLUELESS ROMANTIST WANTING TO BE THE NEXT CARAVAGGIO. LOOKING BACK, I THINK I’M MORE LIKE DA VINCI.
