She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life.

Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage.
