Self Portrait in Front of a Mirror | Léon Spilliaert | 1908

"Self portrait in Front of a Mirror" (1908) by Léon Spilliaert is a haunting exploration of self and shadow. Bathed in darkness and muted tones, the artist's gaunt figure appears ghostlike, his hollow eyes and tilted head echoing existential dread. The dimly reflected interior behind him—a mirror, clock, and dim shapes—adds to the eerie stillness, as if time itself has stopped. Spilliaert’s distorted reflection evokes psychological unease, capturing a moment of introspection that borders on the surreal. This deeply atmospheric work blurs the line between presence and absence, identity and illusion.
