Self-portrait

The Self-portrait embodies the dynamic energy characteristic of Futurism, an early 20th-century Italian movement that celebrated speed, technology, and modernity. Unlike Impressionism, which focused on light and atmosphere, Futurist self-portraits aim to convey motion and the vitality of youth through bold brushwork and vibrant colors. The artist employed Pastel techniques on Paper to emphasize fluidity and immediacy. This work reflects Futurism’s goal to liberate Italy from its past, capturing the physical and energetic essence of the modern individual.
