My portrait

The painting titled "My portrait" exemplifies the innovative approach of the Nabis, a group of young French artists active in Paris from 1888 to 1900, who sought to move beyond Realism and academic traditions. Unlike traditional canvas paintings focused on naturalistic depictions, Nabis artists believed that art was a synthesis of metaphors and symbols. As a Self-portrait, this work likely emphasizes personal expression and artistic identity, using Oil paints to create rich textures. The style reflects their departure from the realistic and their interest in symbolic abstraction, laying groundwork for early modernist movements.
