My favorite art is self portrait art

My fascination with self portraits actually began with van Gogh art. I don't know if you have ever seen the van Gogh self portrait – it is not one of his most glamorous the works. Starry Night is much better known, as are several of the other ones, but nonetheless it is a masterpiece of self portrait arts. The self portrait van Gogh drew is initially unremarkable. It does not have the same mad distortion of his landscapes. Nevertheless, once you begin to look closer at the self portrait art, you can see the pathos and misery that the artist experienced. When I looked at his self portrait art, I finally realized that Starry Night was not a work of intoxicating beauty, but one of unbridled terror and anxiety. This is what looking into his eyes through his eyes showed me.

Of course, not all self portrait art is very deep. For example, one of my friends commissioned a self portrait art piece a while ago. He simply sent in a photographic portrait of himself and had them turn it into some type of painting. I don't know if they did it with actual paint, or if they simply used a computer algorithm to make it look painted on, but whatever they did, the effect was not very good. When I contrast it with works of self portrait art – even ones done by amateur artists – I see the lack of expression in it. Nothing comes through of the artist's intention in this type of self portrait art. It is purely representational, not quite as realistic as a photograph and no more artistic.

Nonetheless, even amateur artists can make great works of self portrait art. My little sister, for example, did something like that in elementary school. She was assigned to do an artist self portrait, and what came out was beautiful. You could really see how the world looked to her young eyes in all of its wild, innocence glory.
