Warrior: Self-portrait (4 Panels)

Acrylic, modeling paste, and spray paint on canvas, 2022

Size: Overall: 6ft x 16ft

Individual Panel: 6ft x 4ft

I painted a larger than life self-portrait to span four panels, each 6ft by 4ft. I sought to capture my diverse interests across each panel. By dividing the painting into four panels, I aimed to communicate the importance of perspective – to truly understand someone, one must view them from varied angles, piecing together a holistic image. In the first panel, a tight-knit village symbolizes my ability to foster community. 

The central panels reveal dual aspects of my personality: one, with obscured eyes, emphasizes my empathetic listening skills, while the other, with eyes locked onto the viewer, speaks to my innate curiosity and questioning spirit. The final panel features the wing of a soaring eagle, signifying my courage to defy conventions.
