I have always enjoyed painting or drawing my self-portraits because I can paint how I want the others to view me, instead of what they actually do. A self-portrait can show people how I perceive myself and also express the feelings when creating the artwork. In wanting to explore my soul and myself, I did a series of four self-portraits on a horizontal canvas, focusing on the different feelings through facial expressions on my faces. This is something more than just a piece of art, but a way to express my unique personalities and the qualities that define me.
