Identity

This piece delves into the idea of identity and how it can be expressed through various forms of art, particularly portraiture. From the masterful use of light and shade in Rembrandt's work to Andy Warhol's vibrant colors in "Marilyn Diptych," each artist showcases how portraits can reflect personal characteristics and emotions. The background, symbols, and even personal objects contribute to the narrative. We invite you to create a self-portrait that reflects who you are, highlighting the important people and elements in your life.
