Silent All These Years

Description

Self-portrait, a4, acrylics, no ref
I painted this picture a while back as some kind of "therapy" when I was feeling absolutely down, and I must say, it helped quite a lot to let go of some burdensome experiences. It´s dealing with humiliations and mental injuries caused by people who never got to know they hurt me because I didn´t tell them. Also I`ve been called "silent" a lot in the past, especially by teachers, so the title of Tori´s song absolutely suits the way I was feeling way back when.
Personally I find it one of my best works, and I think the fact that it turned out so well I`m actually ascribing to my mental state when I worked on it - I needed a little success when I started it, and my mind just seemed to have supported me on that in a way :) I´m quite sure I wouldn´t have been able to get a result like this if it hadn´t been due to these emotions. I know that in the portfolio course an illustrative style like mine isn´t encouraged - and, in the worst case, is referred to as girl dreams :p - but I know that a personal work like this has much more of an artistic value than any of the studies of armchairs or whatnot that we´re doing there :)
