About the artwork

The digital artwork titled "Self-portrait" shows a man in a serious, probing manner. He looks straight at you, his gaze at once penetrating and thoughtful. The artist has portrayed himself with striking directness, without embellishment or idealisation. He wears a beige ribbed shirt, which subtly adds texture to the image. Underneath, he wears a black Henley, the top buttons of which are open, creating an informal but carefully chosen look.
His face is framed by horn-rimmed glasses, which enhance his serious, intellectual appearance. Around his temples, the last remnants of grey hair are visible; the hair is short and thin, adding a sense of transience and realism to the portrait. The artist deliberately chose a stuccoed wall as the background. The neutral, slightly uneven texture of the stucco subtly contrasts with the details in his clothing and face, without distracting from the subject itself.
The use of colour is subdued and warm, with earth tones creating harmony between skin, clothing and background. The light falls softly, without harsh shadows, adding to the intimate atmosphere. This self-portrait invites the viewer to look not only at the exterior, but also at the inner world of the artist.
The combination of simplicity and depth makes this digital artwork a powerful, personal statement.
