Carmen Schabracq made the series Becoming Vincent, I'll Never Walk Alone, in October 2020 as artist in residence in the guest studio of the Vincent van GoghHuis in Zundert. They are paintings and a mask inspired by the portraits of Vincent van Gogh.
Carmen has been making self-portraits ever since she started painting. The mask is also a recurring theme and object in her work. She combined these two subjects in an investigation into the question whether a (self-)portrait can be a form of mask that shows the inner state of the person being portrayed. In addition to the self-portraits she made, she invited friends and her sister to be models in the studio in Zundert.
