E tudo me esgota Autorretratos

Abstract

This course completion work aims to research the self-portrait as artistic expression. The creation process is autobiographical, this research entitled ''And everything exhausts me - self-portraits'' refers to the valorization of human emotions. I bring notes from the history of art within the artistic genre self-portrait in different historical periods. In research presented I also try to learn more about the work of some of the women artists with artistic trajectories outside the Eurocentric axis. I have as main focus on the acquisition of knowledge and reflection on my creation of self-portraits. I present self-representation as a process intimate that reveals and deepens the perception of myself and my surroundings as narrator and subject of my artistic production.
