They say that when an artist paints a portrait it is never really a portrait of a person in the picture, but of an artist himself. True. But I also think the best thing is when he paints someone who is really close to him. Then it becomes hard to distinguish where one person ends and the other one begins. For, and that is also true, to become you, you first had to let others be a part of you. This is why this portrait of my sister doesn’t say much about me or her. Instead, what it really does - it tells about us.
