Oil on canvas panel, circa 210 x 297 mm / 8 in. x 12 in., early 2022
Mastercopy, Study
Rubens painted himself with the confidence of a master who knew his own legacy. His self-portrait is characteristic of his synthesis: Italian vibrancy meeting Dutch texture, precise construction dissolving into hazy edges, skin that seems to hold warmth beneath the surface.
Karya attempted this mastercopy early in her journey. Perhaps too ambitious for its moment. She failed to replicate Rubens' layered texture work but succeeded in capturing his vibrant colour palette.
