Self Reflection, an original 9″×12″ acrylic painting on canvas by Dante Campudoni. This vibrant abstract artwork invites viewers to look beyond the self-image and explore the deeper motivations that drive human psychology.
At the centre of the composition is a lavender-toned figure, fragmented by spiraling staircases that symbolize life’s journey — the places where our beliefs, emotions and rationalisations form. These spirals lead to a striking green eye, the key focal point of the piece. The eye reflects awareness, perception and the moment we truly begin to see beyond ego and emotional baggage.
Rich blue tones wrap the figure, representing introspection, while dynamic reds, maroons and oranges swirl into the subject, illustrating how our emotions distort our perception of reality. Together the colours create a target-like composition — guiding the viewer directly to the “eye” or seat of consciousness.
This painting is a commentary on the human psyche’s contradiction: we often believe we are acting logically when in fact emotional impulses shape our reasoning. Self Reflection is a visual reminder to break free from closed loops of thought, to question motives, align self-image with truth, and embrace a reconciled state of emotion, reason and perception.

The work serves as a reminder to look beyond ourselves. At the forefront stands a lavender-toned human figure, fragmented by spiraling staircases that symbolize the journey through life—where our experiences shape our tendencies and beliefs. This spiral leads to an eye, a recurring symbol in my work that represents awareness and perception: the ability to see beyond our biases and truly be present.
The eye, rendered in greens and surrounded by reds, maroons, and oranges, forms the focal point—the seat of consciousness. The deep blues enveloping the figure suggest the pull of introspection, while the red hues swirl into the subject, showing how emotion and thought contort reality to fit our personal perspectives. These colors converge into a target-like composition, directing the viewer toward the eye—the locus of perception and understanding.
The eye symbolizes consciousness and the moment of realization: the awakening to who we truly are, beyond appearance or ego. It asks us to question our motives, to recognize our limitations, and to align our inner self with the version the world perceives. The tension between the reds and blues mirrors this inner conflict—the ongoing struggle between who we think we are and how we are seen. Ultimately, the goal is harmony between the two: a reconciliation of perception and reality, emotion and reason.
