The portrait is undergoing a fascinating reinterpretation in contemporary art. Today, artistic approaches reflect the complexity and diversity of human identity and social contexts. A central feature of this is the play with identity and self-perception. The portrait is far more than the depiction of a face. It is a multi-layered medium that reflects identity, society and the contemporary world.
