Self-Portrait
Self-portrait art refers to works where artists depict themselves through visual representation. The tradition of self-expression through art stretches back hundreds of years and includes significant examples from ancient Egyptian artworks and the Renaissance period. Through self-portraits artists delve into their personal identity and emotional depth while allowing viewers to see into their inner thoughts and self-perception. Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Rembrandt stand out in history as artists recognized for their self-portrait works. Through these artistic expressions artists reveal their personal inner thoughts and struggles while capturing moments of introspection and self-awareness. Artists use self-portraits to create a conversation between their inner selves and the audience which prompts reflection on personal representation and human identity.
