Acrylic paint on paper

This portrait reimagines Vincent van Gogh鈥檚 iconic Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear not as a replication but as a meditation on pain, the fragile boundary between creation and collapse. With vibrant tones and deliberate texture, the work reflects the quiet aftermath of emotional rupture. A personal dialogue with the silence that follows suffering.
