Gomes utilizes a minimalist graphic design approach to reinterpret the traditional self-portrait, focusing on the essential visual markers that define a famous likeness. By blending digital precision with indigenous-inspired motifs, the artist creates a portrait that feels grounded in historical narrative while remaining sharp and direct in its execution.

The piece explores the intersection of personal identity and symbolic representation, using flat color and bold shapes to convey a multidimensional life experience. Rather than relying on intricate detail, the work uses skilled portrait techniques to evoke the internal health and emotional depth of the subject, making the familiar silhouette feel new and intimate.
