Untitled Self Portrait Series, 2018 & so on
Below is my untitled self-portrait series. Often, I exaggerate certain features, departing from reality. I experiment with unconventional hair colors, vibrant makeup, and simplified backgrounds. The majority of these pieces are created in pastels, with one done in graphite. All works are on Strathmore toned tan sketch paper.
