“Self-portrait with two colors” stands out among other self-portraits by the brightness of colors, the cheerful tones of which create a sense of celebration.
Flowers are present on many self-portraits of the artist. But here they are emphasized. And not only because she holds them in a raised left hand, attracting the attention of viewers.
If we carefully look at how the face is sculpted, we will find that it is “woven” from the petals of a flower – such broad rounded strokes of paint – simply “scatter” flowers on its face.
The dark background of the canvas emphasizes the relief of the image and does not reduce the festive mood. A smile hid in the eyes and the corners of the lips, and the expression on the face was dreamy. She, as always, is absorbed in her thoughts, and this eternal search is reflected in her whole appearance.
