Summary

This article presents a research based on artistic practice, in this line, the artistic process is defended as research. The main theme is the reflection generated by the artistic process. To develop this thought, the author has based himself on his own artistic work. This text focuses on the painting entitled Gau Begietan (Eyes of Night); an oil self-portrait made in front of the mirror. The development of the text is not focused only on its author, having been necessary to identify themes of common interest, such as human drama, the shadow as a cluster of meanings and the paradigm between the background and the figure, among others. Through an intersubjective discourse, these are developed by relating personal experience and reflection with the thought of other artists and thinkers.
