More about this artwork

The captivating painting titled "Selbstporträt" by artist Karl Wiener is a profound exploration of self-identity articulated through a melancholic and somewhat surreal portrayal. In this self-portrait, Wiener presents himself in stark, introspective detail against a backdrop subtly hinting at an urban landscape. His expression, characterized by piercing, thoughtful eyes and a firmly set mouth, suggests a weight of contemplation or resolve. The geometry of his face, with sharp contours and elongated features, lends a unique character that might evoke a sense of isolation or alienation.Adding an element of mystique and perhaps symbolism, a few bright stars are scattered artistically in the sky overhead, possibly representing lofty thoughts or dreams, illuminating the somber tones of the artwork. A cigarette, nonchalantly resting between his lips, seems to add to the aura of introspection, further highlighting the thoughtful quietude that pervades the piece.This image, with its subtle interplay of shadow and light, invites viewers to ponder the complexities of the artist's psyche.
