Self-Portrait as Cleopatra Painting

Self-portrait As Cleopatra. Here I try to dissociate from my painful romantic break up by placing it into a purposely theatrical setting reminiscent of classical opera. The base of the column rendered in reverse perspective. Pointillism denotes emotional tension. And flowers, as usual, symbolize an abundance of thoughts, their endless train in my head. As ancient aboriginal cultures, in order to free themself from the fear, to control that fear, intentionally chose their interaction with sources of fear through their art, totems and rituals. In this artwork I choose depicting my emotions as a theatrical act, to sublimate it into an ironical art piece to retrieve back my psychological power. At this current moment, writing this caption, I understand that aesthetics is always a tool to control our emotions, our responses to the challenges of life. As on a deepest personal level everyone has their own tragedy, either we choose the clothes, the style of our environment, the music we listen to, the art we put in our home, with all of those aesthetic decisions we elect the way we deal with bigger and more global issues of life.
