This self portrait was painted during an intense psychotic episode. The frankness with which BerriBlue approaches mental health and self harm is beautiful and haunting. The figure appears vulnerable and flawed, and there is no sense of body positivity. The pose and the background imagery imply a sense of defensive confusion, but the eyes lock piercingly with the viewer. This piece was chosen as the chief promotional image for an event in Porto's Bombarda arts district in 2018.

BerriBlue is a Polish / Irish artist based in Porto, Portugal. Prominent in her work are themes of mental health, femininity, sexuality, and mortality. Though well known for her street art, BerriBlue is also a successful studio artist. She has had four solo shows to date, and her work is held in collections in Dublin, Lisbon, Mozambique, Porto, and Los Angeles. She trained as a printmaker and graphic designer, and has released a line of beautifully illustrated silk scarves, though painting was always her first love.
