“Self-Portrait” is not the depiction of a face, but of an inner balance.
The work represents the coexistence of two inseparable dimensions of the artist: the engineering and the artistic soul. The gears symbolize structure, precision, logic, and the practical mind; the flowing colors embody creativity, intuition, and emotional expression. These elements do not oppose one another, but merge into a single harmonious movement.
Within the vortex appear the symbols of what deeply shapes the artist’s identity: leaves for nature, notes for music, scattered pages for books and knowledge, butterflies for family and transformation.
At the center shines a radiant nucleus: the soul, the origin, the light from which every thought, emotion and experience is generated.
The composition becomes a visual meditation on harmony: a place where reason and sensitivity coexist, nourish one another, and evolve together.
