“Painting as an Identity” is the exhibition by the 2nd year students of the painting department at the Estonian Academy of Arts. The audience will witness self-reflections of young painters which can also be recognised as auto portraits. Ones' artistic practice is a journey to seek for its personal identity – a journey students have dealt with over the past half a year when approaching a large scale canvas. The supervisors have taken a role to ask critical questions to support students to analyse each step on decision-making thoroughly. Big canvas has become the only, but solid connecting unit between ten different approaches amongst the authors.

Narva Art Residency is operated by the Estonian Academy of Arts in collaboration with Narva Gate and it is supported by the Ministry of Culture.
