Self obsessed selfie

Comments

So if I comment am I adding to the problem? I'll risk it. A wonderful portrait Mark capturing a great expression.

Very very clever and well said

Your comments are quite right and the painting has been executed with the conviction of your thoughts which are the building blocks of all art. A very good painting all round...

So true. Great painting

That’s so true Mark. The number of young women ( and some men) you see preening themselves as they walk along looking into their phones is rather strange and alarming. I don’t think all these plumped up faces and bottoms etc will look the same as they start to age and gravitates downwards. Love the self portrait? A great painting in all aspects!

Agree with you wholeheartedly Mark and a cracking piece of art in the process.

With this self portrait i wanted to convey how social media is turning everyone into narcissists, constantly craving adoration and validation.
