Cet autoportrait abstrait raconte une histoire personnelle complexe, faite d’émotions intenses, d’équilibre entre lumière et ombre, et d’une exploration constante de soi-même. C’est une œuvre où l’artiste semble mettre en lumière non pas son apparence, mais son essence et son humanité profonde.

Voici une œuvre abstraite vibrante et expressive. Elle se caractérise par une palette de couleurs dynamiques où dominent des tons de rouge, orange, jaune, noir, et blanc. Des coups de pinceau énergétiques et superposés créent une texture riche et complexe.

Les lignes noires épaisses tracent des formes suggestives qui évoquent des silhouettes ou des structures, sans jamais devenir figuratives. Les zones de rouge et d'orange ajoutent de la chaleur et de l'intensité, contrastant avec les nuances froides de gris et de blanc qui unifient l'ensemble.

Certaines formes angulaires et les éclats de lumière jaune-vert donnent une impression de profondeur et de mouvement. Les couches semblent se chevaucher, racontant une histoire visuelle de chaos organisé et d’émotions profondes. Le style est fortement gestuel, ce qui témoigne d’un processus créatif spontané et libre.
