A limited-edition giclée print of Blake Prol Barbosa’s haunting self-portrait, And I Gave Myself the Name and Waited for the Glory, but There Was Only Pain.

£100.00

This work confronts identity, performance, and the crushing weight of perfectionism. A figure — submerged in waves rising from their own hair and encircled by grasping hands — embodies the quiet devastation of becoming a version of oneself that never truly fits.

Professionally produced on archival fine art paper, this 40 × 60 cm giclée edition preserves the depth, texture, and atmosphere of the original oil painting. Each print is individually numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
