Self Portrait - 11x14 Original Painting

Self Portrait
Original oil on canvas, 11 × 14 inches

This intimate self portrait is a study in presence, perception, and quiet confidence. Cropped close and rendered with expressive, layered brushwork, the painting invites the viewer into a moment of stillness—one that feels personal yet universally human.

Warm skin tones and soft shadows are contrasted by bold green frames and a vivid pop of color, creating visual tension between vulnerability and strength. The gaze is direct but gentle, thoughtful without performance. Subtle details—the texture of hair, the softness of fabric, the glint of a simple initial—ground the piece in lived experience rather than idealization.

Painted in oil on canvas, this 11×14 original is a reflective work about seeing oneself clearly and honestly. It stands as both a personal statement and a quiet companion piece, well-suited for intimate spaces where viewers can engage up close.
