This is the amazing self portrait work of Levi van Veluw from the Netherlands.

This 4-piece series reinterprets the traditional landscape painting, removing plots of grass, clusters of trees, babbling brooks from their intimate 2 dimensional formats and transposing them onto the 3 dimensional contours of his own face. Thus a fresh twist is given to the obsession inherent in the romantic landscape of recreating the world and simultaneously being part of it. The romantic landscape and self-portrait genres are combined as a means of re-examination.

What a wonderful idea. The Romantics would doubtlessly approve. Especially Emerson with his notion of OverSoul.
