About the piece

Created in 1909, this self-portrait by Norwegian painter Karl Edvard Diriks showcases a masterful use of post-impressionist technique. The artist depicts himself with a direct gaze, wearing a blue jacket over an open white shirt, set against a densely textured green background that vibrates with color and energy. The visible brushstrokes create a rhythmic surface that feels both modern and timeless.
