Description
Another self-portrait with another tattoo I don't have
(My mother wanted to give me this name : SalomΓ©, but my father won)
I saw this tattoo : an Ouroboros on a girl, this is a snake swallowing its own tail and forming a circle.
It represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality.
I like when a tattoo really means something for its owner and it's not just something decorative without true meaning.
Acrylic + chinese ink on canvas
45 x 55 cm

Wow, I just got turned onto your gallery and I am loving it so far
I especially like the angle and the areas of white and color, they give an excellent frame to your face and really make room for your eyes to provide a lot of emotion. The position of your hands is wonderful too & it adds a very intimate and sort of innocent expression of body language.
And although I do like the tattoo, I'm not as fond of the inked circles around it--something about them distracts me a little, I think.
Other than that, though, this is such a beautiful and emotive portrait of a beautiful woman--seven thumbs up

Thank you for this constructive criticism !
I try to explore some spaces where I mix under / outside water and the circles are actually concentric waves in the water.
thanks

Really powerful piece, love the addition of tattoo. I feel the same way about them and am planning one for myself to have done in a couple of months

I love ouroboros. Zeruch had a series going with them that was fantastic, too.
The piece is so tranquil but still energetic. It's very enjoyable. Thank you again.

I was a little bit afraid when I saw a real ouroboros in picture but I like what it represents.

I was just trying to make me a professionnel network via myspace and yesterday a gallery from NYC send me an email because they are interested by my atworks.
I don't really have a strategy, I'm waiting for your book actually

Just make sure the galleries do not want you to pay a fee !
There are a few in New York that are...shall we say, not what they appear to be.
Note me if you have any questions and I will provide you with some tips.
I am coming to Germany this summer and will also be in Paris with my wife and daughter for a few days. (July 1-3 I think.)
We are staying in a hotel by the Champs de Mars. I am preparing my daughter to have a fun time.
