Playing on the pun of Magrittes “Ceci c’est ne pas une pipe” – this series in the fashion of “Ceci c’est ne pas un portrait” explores the nature of portrait painting and its attached presumptions. Con- trary to the assumption a portrait shows a “true self ” my portraits are as uide, blurry, escaping and uninsightful as – in my mind – real people are.
