Description
so today is self portrait day, and I've had this idea simmering in my brain for some time.it's a very blatant reference to a painting by Jan Matejko:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sta%C5%8…
this has to be the most pretentious thing I've ever painted so far though omg

This feels scary, haunting and yet fascinating.
It reminds me of some paintings the director Dante Tomaselli used in his movie "Horror". There is a scene in which you see the portrait of a grandfather gradually transform into a goat-head, and they did this effect by filming different paintings, so it's literally a "gradually" change. They had one portrait for every change. I always liked that, even though it's a dated effect. Today's hollywood would most likely do that with CGI.

astounding work ! Also reminds me of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_af…
I didn't know of Matejko's painting, but I think you did a great job getting your grip on it.

a tam pretensjonalne, pan matejko byłby dumny :"D
tak właściwie to bardzo lubię symboliczne akcenty i taki surrealizm, więc cudownie mi się patrzy na ten obraz, szczególnie kolorystyka wygrywa (prawie odwrotna do tej na stańczyku, w sensie zimna)

to me this feels disturbing, are they in or out of the MATRIX? very good work here, classical style really. do the stars relate to any particular system? Rembrandt-esq!

hah, no, this is mostly artistic gibberish and making things look pretty, rather than squeezing in some complex symbolic information

Awesome! It also makes me think of this painting of Francis Bacon: a405.idata.over-blog.com/260x3…

unintentional reference, but they are indeed similar!

this is really cool! although im curious, why did you choose to base it off that particular painting?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mostly because it's so well known here in Poland and has very strong symbolic value - and, it is actually said to be a self-portrait of the artist as well!

Mmmmmm odniesienie do Matejki i Bacona robią dobrze w moje historyczno-sztukowe serduszko <3
Wyszło ci świetnie owo
