Abstract

Thesis Proposal: Concept and Vision: Many artists are remembered through self-portraits. They can offer insights into an artist's life, surroundings, and mental state. Painting a self-portrait seems complicated. When I think about painting a self-portrait Ithink of my identity as a woman, an artist, the experiences, memories, values, background, culture, and other things that makes me the person that I am. In this study of self-discovery, internal and external perceptions, I will try to document my early childhood to the current time of being through abstraction and try to capture the aura of the person. I’m also doing research on the women’s artwork in Bangladesh. Here is an example of women creating art in Bangladesh------ https://korissa.co/pages/our-story Media and Scale: 7 to 10 paintings, acrylic and oil paint on canvases Canvas sizes: 8ftgx7ft, 7x6ft, and 4x3ft Timeline: Main Gallery, April 20-April 26
