Self Portrait 1960

Valerii Lamakh's "Self Portrait" from 1960 showcases the artist's distinctive style. Lamakh, a prominent figure in Ukrainian art, is known for his expressive use of color and thick impasto. This self-portrait, painted in a palette of earthy browns, yellows, and blues, captures the artist's features in a simplified, almost sculptural way. The bold brushstrokes and the textured surface add a sense of depth and emotion, highlighting Lamakh's introspective nature. While the portrait is relatively abstract, it conveys a sense of realism and individual identity.
