Hi friends, this is the sixth of my acrylic series back a few years ago. That time, as I was looking at this portrait I drew, I began wondering why this face felt so incredibly familiar to me. If you subconsciously draw a part of yourself, it comes from the depth of the psychological area that we call the "Shadow". This part is the repressed and long forgotten aspect of yourself. Now that this is confirmed - what kind of person is staring back at me? Perhaps I was reading too much into it but looking at its face in different stages of life always felt like it was changing expressions too. There is a whole palette of what it went through to show me, from anger to curiosity, from bitterness to wonderment, from sadness to innocence. After finishing this painting, I still couldn't decode what it was trying to tell me.
