red chalk drawing
The concept behind a self-portrait represents a forum for the artist to enter into a discussion with him/herself and to get to know the inner self pictorially in an introspective act of self-awareness.
This implies, however, the assumption that a self-portrait is an authentic representation. But the often invoked 'soul' of an artist can only be regarded as a starting point for an artwork, as a motive or stimulus - but both the soul and self-portrait cannot be put on the same level, nor can they be regarded as a reflection of each other, as then these categories would otherwise intermingle.

Self-portraits always deal with the self-representation of an artist, the element, however, that creates art is only one feature, the other facets are missing in self-portraits like in all other mises- en- scène.
