An enthralling self-portrait, full of symbolism! The artist’s face is depicted at the center, with an expression of contemplation and perhaps a touch of sadness. Around him, there is a rich palette of colors and elements: green foliage like a crown, a bird with outstretched wings, a bluish, almost transparent object reminiscent of an aquarium, and a delicate blue fish, as if Mark is trying to say, ‘I cannot speak.’ All of this creates an atmosphere of mystery and depth. The color scheme of the painting is deep and vivid, and the combination of warm and cool tones highlights the contrasts of the artist’s inner world. It seems to me that the painting invites the viewer to reflect on the meaning of life, inner freedom, and the search for purpose. This is truly a unique and impressive work of art!
