The Essence Of Self

The Essence Of Self is a portrait with no face and all feeling. Deep blue and white brushstrokes spiral where features should be, turning the head into a moving vortex of thoughts, memories and moods. It looks like someone caught in mid introspection, the exact moment when you are not sure who you are, only that you are changing.

On the wall it reads as a bold abstract shape from far away. Up close you start to see the ears, neck and shoulders appear beneath the paint, which makes it perfect for hallways, studios and living rooms where you want something a little mysterious. This is one of those Joffzart pieces that seems to look back at you, even without eyes.
