The selfie project started with an interplay between paint and my body. The module of expression was my face. I chose this part of the body because simply it is the most expressing and the temple of senses. With the organs of the face, one can smell, touch, taste, see and hear. All senses included. The face is a map of the entire body, the mind, and emotions.

I painted it and printed on various surfaces, experiment with textures and mediums until I reached a satisfactory result. For the Digital Selfie, I used intaglio techniques to print my face on metal. After the whole process was complete, I scanned it, translating it into a digital form - from traditional printing to a virtual environment. Then I started playing with it in various programs and it became like a brush: started multiplying, deforming, changing colors, nuances, just to see how volatile can it be.

Soon I was going to realize that this whole process seemed like the one forming an image, from pixels. An analogy in the process (and not only) of forming the seen reality, from particle to body, from micro to macro, from letter to the word, from word to sentence. From dot to the line, to 3D space, and so on. Just that in this situation, the dot was my face. I want to mention that in my works, one most important highlight is that observation itself is the purpose. The visual result is the form of the tool I’m handling during this process. Just as our bodies during this lifetime, or the hands for painting or writing.

The entire works, every one of them is generated from the reinterpretation, contextualization, and translation of the same core particle: my face, the reinterpreted Selfie.
