Lockdown Self-portrait

In a world that suddenly stood still, the gaze remained fixed forward. This self-portrait, captured during the height of lockdown, explores the intersection of isolation and self-reflection.

The muted olive background creates a sense of compressed space, highlighting the subject's contemplative expression. Rendered with thoughtful, visible brushwork in oil, this piece captures more than a likeness - it captures a moment in history defined by internal silence and enduring strength.
