Reflected Essence is a self-portrait painted in front of a mirror, created with acrylics on canvas.
Guided by instinct rather than observation, the process became a spontaneous flow of gestures and emotion. The face, stripped of physical resemblance, turns into a mirror of consciousness—an abstract reflection of inner balance and transformation.
The androgynous traits, recurring in many of my self-portraits, symbolize the integration of opposites and the dissolution of boundaries between identity and essence.
This work embodies authenticity, freedom, and emotional resonance, inviting viewers to recognize themselves in the universal vibration of being.
