This self portrait is like a reflection of the past, when I was much younger... It is not a classical self portrait, as you must have already noticed. This large scale oil painting is about a dreams we all have when we are young, our plans for the future... It is like a travel in time, when you move to the past and look at yourselve today, but from the standpoint of some 20 - 30 years ago... And, of course, I located myself on the beach in front of the sea, as there is no better place to think about importan meaningfull things. People may change, but the sea remains the same, it remembers you from the past, and who know, maybe it also remembers your thoughts...
