This work has been exhibited at the Galeria Àngels de la Mota (Barcelona). Self-portraits/data painting, painted one per day over a period of almost two months. All of them have multiple readings, from the point of view of the history of representation as well as from a more psychological reading, a multiplicity of pictorial and psychological identities. The pictorial methodology is very precise and the image appears in the bottom of the painting, taking up a small part. Once finished, each portrait was not used as a reference for creating the next one but remained hidden so it could not be seen until the entire process had ended.
