Self Portrait with a Portrait of Diego on the Breast and Maria Between the Eyebrows

"Self Portrait with a Portrait of Diego on the Breast and Maria Between the Eyebrows" is a compelling self-portrait painted with oil on Masonite. The painting exhibits elements of naïve art (primitivism), characterized by its simplified forms and childlike innocence. The artist intricately depicts a figure with symbolic features, including a portrait of Diego on the breast and Maria positioned between the eyebrows, creating a surreal, almost dreamlike composition. This piece masterfully blends innocence with personal symbolism, challenging conventional perceptions and drawing on elements of Surrealism.
