For this work I have chosen the colours
of green, blue-grey and black
The green stands for my wonderful childhood,
the years full of joy, laughter, peace and love.
The blue-grey stands for my big dreams,
that sometimes fascinate me and others depress me.
And the black stands for the days od sadness,
for the days I felt lost and alone.
For the days I hated the unfairness and cruelty of the world.

The background of my self-portrait will be quiet and seemingfully peaceful,
but will give the impression that something bad and dangerous is coming.

In my self-portrait I will be holding my brother's hand
because he's the person I love the most in the world.

even if that means destroying myself.

I'd like them to think of me as a strong and happy girl,
a girl that has lived
and a girl that is determined to keep going on
no matter what.    


My self-portrait
I am painting my self-portrait.

I’m probably going to use the colors of blue because of the sea, red because it’s inspirational for me and green because it depicts nature.

The background of my self-portrait will be white, so everyone could imagine anything they want.

I will be holding a guitar or a musical instrument in order to express my love for music.

When people see my self-portrait I would hope that they’d say: “Wow, what an artist made that” or “I can’t see something special” because there’s nothing certain in life.

After painting my self-portrait called “The blue kid”, I would give it to my parents, because they are always there to support me!
