Self-Portrait with Silhouette
1975

A vertical artwork depicting a silhouette of a profile that creates an optical illusion of two faces about to kiss. The background transitions from a textured red at the top to a deep blue at the bottom, with hints of yellow and pink light resembling a nebula. The silhouette occupies the right side of the image, casting a stark contrast against the vibrant colors.
