Artwork / Archives / Subjective / Artist

Pegasus appears in my self-portrait above as part of the legend of Medusa—the detail below shows the snakes in my hair—but, when I discovered that 2014 was the year of the horse in the Chinese Zodiac, I knew I had to recreate him, bigger and bolder in his own painting.

As for Becca’s portrait of me, when I spoke at TEDxGeneva in 2014, I featured the painting as a way of talking about feelings of ownership for art and for portraits. The presentation is called “In Defense of Imitation.”
