This allegorical composition is a recreation of the ‘Death and the Maiden’ motif, common in Renaissance paintings. It presents The Prince sub-personality at the moment of death. The diptych is a memento mori.

SELF-REFLECTIONS is a series of satirical and surreal self-portraits, presenting a repertoire of four personalities that live inside the same person. Photographed as archetypes and fairy tale characters, they are named: The Villain, The Joker, The Prince and The Boy.

The images, meticulously constructed like paintings with in-depth work on their characterisation, colour and style, form allegorical tableaux whose narratives intertwine artistic, cinematic and philosophical references. They evoke the construction of identity, childhood, death, freedom, madness… sometimes to comedic effect.

Irony and subversion invite the viewer to a striking world filled with a strange chromatic unreality, a theatre of the absurd where a single actor plays all the roles.
