I PAINT NOTSELF SERIES

This is a series of self-portraits that reinterprets iconic female figures from the history of art. Inspired by the masterpieces of great masters — from Manet to Leonardo da Vinci — the artist literally embodies these heroines immortalized through the male gaze.

These women became symbols through the eyes of male painters, but what happens when they are revisited in the 21st century, in the era of feminism? By reclaiming the poses of Olympia, Lady with an Ermine, or The Absinthe Drinker, the artist does not merely reproduce them, but relives them, infusing them with her own personal experience and a contemporary perspective.
