Self-portrait with a hedgehog, 2009
acrylic on canvas
130 x 80 cm

I wanted to paint an optimistic self-portrait as I wanted to show myself what a wonderful life I have. But I still ended up painting a background void of any hope because life is just hanging on the edge of an abyss and art is just one way of hiding it.
