Bellissimo Carlos ! My goodness this will be a wonderful marketing piece too !
It has just the right amount of finish, and is also reminiscent of some classical self portrait of studio situations like Goya with the candles on his head or Chardin with his funny hat.
I posted many times here against vignette portraits (a personal thing of mine) and this is the best explanation about giving solidity to a work without completing every inch of the canvas, but just reaching the highest intensity in the head.
