Self-portrait in 2012 by Jun Lin in Mansfield

This captivating self-portrait, created in 2012, is a testament to the profound personal expression that art can convey. Using a traditional Chinese brush and ink, I meticulously crafted this portrait, infusing it with the timeless elegance inherent in this ancient artistic medium. On the left side of the portrait, I incorporated calligraphy, skillfully capturing and conveying my emotions at that specific moment in time. This self-portrait goes beyond capturing my physical features; it serves as a window into my inner self. Through deliberate brushstrokes and intricate details, I sought to convey the complexities of my emotions and the thoughts that consumed my mind during that significant period. The inclusion of calligraphy, penned with a brush, adds an extra layer of depth, allowing for the expression of feelings that words alone cannot fully articulate.
