Self-portrait project 2011

In 2011 I started this study/experiment project, where the challenge was to create a self-portrait every day for a month. The period of work was November 9th – December 9th and I did not follow a specific format, style or technique – this resulted in quite a varied body of work, with paintings, drawings and collages ranging between 200 x 110 cm and 13 x 9 cm. It was a really useful exercise, because it allowed me to play around with a lot of different techniques and approaches, while keeping me centered around a single theme, the portrait, which in this case became a very intimate exploration of the self.
