tactile self-portrait

Why do I use my image so often? Perhaps do I love too much myself? Perhaps do I am narcissist? This is not a great self-esteem mixed with cult of myself!
I am the only human model that I have at hand!And it is very fun to play with my own image, You too,try and play with your image!

This painting is called Icon.
I have played with the Byzantine painting, rich of gold and metallic contrasts.
I have added a 'tactile' element made with yarn of wool and silk. Also the painting that I used is very tactile: the layers of color are similar to lumps. I did not glue the yarn everywhere because I wanted the yarn to move in the air.
The child above the head is the new, new ideas, the change.The butterflies... I simply adore them, but They are also very common symbols!
For me, a Painting is created for the eyes and hands...and a little for the ears, the yarn rustles in the wind!

An artistic project....searching hearts

Radzat has promoted an initiative...'Find one from you're part of the world and to make this even easier....take a photo of it and send me the photo and I'll do the same for you. That way we don't even have to go to the mailbox. :) But still we can connect, heart to heart', says Marilyn..and so, dear Marilyn...I'm 'practicing' my view.
