Li Jianyi's "Self-Portrait" (1995) showcases a strong yet delicate inner exploration. The composition, with its diagonal angle and dim colors, creates a sense of solitude and oppression, while the tilted environment further suggests unease and struggle within the inner world. The artist places the face at the lower edge of the canvas, using sharp contrasts of light and shadow to highlight a posture of self-reflection and isolation, presenting the artist's self-doubt through life's experiences. The subdued color palette and meticulous brushwork provoke profound contemplation of the inherent conflicts of human nature and social disorder in the viewer.
