Auto retrato en blanco (self portrait in white) 1998

"Auto retrato en blanco" (Self-Portrait in White), created in 1998, is a self-portrait by Ramon Oviedo, a Dominican artist. The painting features a close-up of the artist's face, wrapped in white bandages, with his brain visible. The intense gaze through thick glasses and the stark contrast between the white bandages and the dark background creates a sense of unease and introspection. The artwork is characteristic of Oviedo's style, which often explores themes of identity, mortality, and the fragility of the human body. This painting is a powerful example of his ability to use expressive brushstrokes and vivid colors to convey deep emotion and thought.
