The painting titled My Life My Soul encapsulates the essence of Symbolism, a late 19th-century movement that aimed to depict absolute truths through symbolic and metaphorical images rather than realistic representation.

Through its layered imagery, My Life My Soul emphasizes the artist's inner world and personal beliefs, embodying Symbolist ideals of expressing profound truths beyond surface appearances.
