  • The Argentinian painter Melisa Calabria sits down to explain the importance of painting self-portraits. Beyond supplying a free and patient model, Calabria perceives self-portraits as an "excuse" that allows you to depict archetypal situations. Instead of indicating egocentrism, she sees this genre as an opportunity to discover the eternal in all your models.

    She made a beautiful painting. I wouldn't call it a self portrait since it looks nothing like her. Very interesting discussion nevertheless. Also not a bad looking girl this Melisa
