Ernest Zmeták sought his personal visual expression via the self-portrait. He was not so much interested in detailed facial features; rather, he concentrated on the form and composition of the picture. He constructed his countenance from firm geometrical shapes, almost Cezanne-fashion. However, for him the focus of emotion in the face remained the eyes, with their concentrated, indeed flaming gaze.
