Self-Portrait

The Self-portrait housed at the Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art showcases an intense exploration of individual identity through bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. This work, influenced by Expressionism, emphasizes emotional depth and psychological complexity, inviting viewers to connect deeply with the artist's inner world. Located in Athens' Pangrati district, the museum was established in 2019 to display a remarkable collection amassed by shipowner Basil Goulandris and his wife Elise Karadontis, valued at US$3 billion. The painting reflects a modern approach to self-exploration and artistic expression, making it a significant highlight of the collection.
