This piece explored the idea of colour theory in terms of colour representing emotion. Paint covers the entire face to emphasize the sense of overwhelming feelings and not being able to contain said emotions. I wanted to play on the saying "wear your heart on your sleeve" but rather wearing the emotions on your face. This portrait is giving off a serene expression, as if the emotions and colour have taken over the sense of self. This is a self portrait based upon my own anxieties, however I had the intention for the piece to be relatable to everyone in one way or another. It may invoke one emotion in one individual and another feeling to someone else.
