Self Portrait,
Oil painting with Acrylic pour, unframed, on canvas board.
Following an accident I ended up with a black eye. This innocent bump and the stereotypical reactions to it shook my confidence to the core.
I found that while I had always been confident in my own skin, not depending on makeup or dressing to impress, I began questioning those beliefs.I became conflicted about how I should behave; should I conform to societies ‘norms’ and wear makeup to cover it up (hide the truth) or should I be brave and own it?
