DIALOGUE BEYOND IDENTITY
SELF PORTRAIT COMMUNICATES WITH ANDROGYNOUS HEAD
HM-ART1197- Oil on canvas 80x100cm
There are moments in life when we are not confronted by others—
but by ourselves.
In this work, the artist enters into a silent dialogue
with a form that transcends definition.
The androgynous head—
neither fully masculine nor feminine—
exists beyond the limits of identity.
It does not choose.
It simply is.
Opposite it stands the self-portrait.
Recognizable. Defined.
Shaped by time, experience, and the weight of perception.
What unfolds between them
is not a conversation in words,
but in awareness.
Who are we,
when we are not reduced
to roles, expectations, or labels?
The sculpture, created years earlier,
returns here not as an object—
but as a mirror.
A reminder of a moment
when creation was still pure,
untouched by interpretation.
The artist does not dominate the scene.
He listens.
Because the androgynous form
holds something essential:
balance.
A unity of opposites.
Strength without rigidity.
Sensitivity without fragility.
In confronting this figure,
the artist confronts himself—
not as he appears,
but as he could be.
This work is not about identity.
It is about integration.
