''I Lock My Door Upon Myself'' is a symbolist painting by the Belgian artist Fernand Khnopff, created in 1891. The work is a quintessential example of the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the mystical, emotional, and spiritual through evocative imagery. Khnopff, a prominent figure in the movement, was known for his dreamlike scenes and often enigmatic subjects that challenge the viewer's perceptions and invite introspection.

The painting features a solitary female figure, a recurring motif in Khnopff's oeuvre, set against a backdrop that blurs the line between reality and the imagined. The title of the work is a reference to a line from Christina Rossetti's poem "Who Shall Deliver Me?" which reflects themes of introspection and the complexity of the inner self. The woman's distant gaze and closed-off posture, along with the title, suggest a voluntary retreat into an inner world, emphasizing themes of isolation and self-contemplation.

Khnopff's meticulous technique and use of color contribute to the painting's enigmatic quality. The artist's blending of different textures and the juxtaposition of the figure against a sparse, undefined background create a sense of stillness and otherworldliness. The figure's red hair and the striking blue of her garment stand out, drawing the viewer's eye and further emphasizing the subject's detachment from her surroundings.

"I Lock My Door Upon Myself" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its embodiment of Symbolist themes. The painting is part of the collection of the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Symbolist movement and its exploration of the human psyche.
