ABOUT THIS ARTWORK AND THE ARTIST 
Chuli Herrera focuses on social relationships and the benefits offered by new technologies in the age of social networks. 
For some years now, his work has been marked by the constant relationship of subordinate images to the emotions and internal and external situations that human beings constantly experience. In this work, Chuli Herrera criticizes the ego of our contemporary societies. He puts masks to his portraits, like the ones we have when we post selfies on social networks, highlighting a life that is always more perfect than reality. He named this series "Zelf Portret" (in Dutch), because he presents on a mobile phone self-portraits of great masters like Rembrandt or Van Gogh.
