Self-Portrait

Evelyne Axell's Self-portrait exemplifies her vibrant style as a Belgian Pop art painter of the 1960s. Her psychedelic and erotic paintings often depict female nudes and explore themes of sexual liberation, reflecting the hedonistic impulses of the era. Created on plexiglass, her work captures the bold, colorful spirit of the decade, influenced by global events like the Vietnam War and social movements such as the Black Panthers. Axell's Self-portrait fully embodies the youthful, rebellious energy and thematic daring characteristic of 1960s pop culture.
