This self-portrait represents a significant milestone in my artistic journey, being the first one I’ve ever created on canvas. I'm genuinely pleased with how it turned out – especially in the shading and details that I focused on. At the time of this creation, my artistic style prominently featured floral motifs, a theme I seamlessly integrated into the portrait. This juxtaposition of the human form with botanical elements not only enhanced the composition's overall impact but also added a heightened sense of depth and visual interest, elevating the portrayal of my identity with the art I create.
