Ekaterina Sukhova

The source of inspiration for realizing the project was a series of self-portraits
made by Ekaterina Berestova. For a period of time, she drew
two self-portraits daily. One of them depicted her appearance, another
one shown her feelings. This practice impressed me a lot and led me to
the idea of combining both processes on one canvas. On the first layer, I
made ‘external’ self-portrait, and on the second layer I depicted ‘inner’
one.
The aim of the project is to portray the difference between objective and
subjective realities through​ portrait transformation. The way we
perceive ourselves is our perception of the world, and I am sure this is
the most beautiful and bright part of our personalities.
