This oil painting, "Vivo o morto?" Olio su tela cm. 40x40
"Dead or alive?" - Oil on canvas inch. 15.748x15.748,
is my first imprint: something that
still remains in the way I represent myself,
as this was my first self-portrait.
Because this is what some artists do: they paint
themselves believing they remain unseen,
even by themselves.
So, when I look at the essence of
the other I have painted, I recognize myself in
that concealed gaze.
Within it, I recognize the same vision of the world.
That I still hold.
