An interesting, unusual, questioning and critical attitude has started to be used in artistic productions, especially in the works related to self-portraits, with the use of different mediums in materials and techniques in contemporary and today¡¯s art, where the meaning and function of art has gained many dimensions. The artist wants to look for something beyond his own image, but on the other hand, he wants to show his inner world, traces of his life, and social and political events together with himself. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the evolution of the self-portrait from the past to the present by showing the differences and handling styles of the self-portrait subject periodically.
