Original artwork description:
Self-Portrait in Fayum Style is an original oil on canvas painting created in 2021. The work draws inspiration from the ancient Egyptian “Fayum” mummy portraits, embracing their frontal pose, luminous skin tones and direct gaze.
In this painting, the artist presents herself in a composed, classical manner — yet rendered with modern sensitivity and painterly finesse. The balanced composition and warm palette evoke both reverence for the historic genre and a fresh contemporary voice. This portrait bridges the ritual formality of ancient portraiture with the introspection of today’s self-portrait.
Ideal for collectors of figurative art, portraiture, modern realism and those drawn to works that reference art history while remaining deeply personal.
Details:
– Original oil painting on canvas (one-of-a-kind original)
– Signed by the artist
– Certificate of Authenticity included
– Ships securely packaged
The works of ancient Fayum artists have always attracted me! It has always been fascinating to peer into the lively faces of people who lived centuries ago. When I cut my hair and looked in the mirror, it seemed interesting to make a self-portrait in which the aesthetics and compositional techniques of encaustic masters could be guessed.
