ArtWork Details
Autorretrato Betancourt captures the emotional weight of migration through a striking self-portrait. Selûn Collective offers this limited edition giclée print as part of the 2025 Print Collection. It comes in A2 size (42 × 59.4 cm / 16.5 × 23.4″) on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.
The title translates to "Self-Portrait." However, this piece goes far beyond a simple likeness. Specifically, Patricia Betancourt uses a monochromatic palette and expressive brushstrokes to explore the journey of leaving everything behind to start anew. Textured figures anchor the composition. In addition, delicate embroidery stitches bind the forms to the surface. These threads symbolize the ties that connect us to the memories, places, and experiences that shape who we are. Consequently, Autorretrato Betancourt speaks to anyone who has ever carried the weight of home across borders.
Furthermore, Betancourt's own life mirrors this theme. Born in Guatemala in 1968, she moved to Mexico as a child, then to Colombia for her studies. She initially pursued industrial engineering before finding her true path in art. As a result, her work carries the restlessness and curiosity of a nomadic life.
