Artwork description

Play with a Mask presents a dreamlike stage where reality and illusion intertwine. The central figure of a mask-like face hovers with quiet majesty, its expression serene yet enigmatic. Surrounding it, cascading vertical forms in radiant hues suggest curtains, pillars, or shifting veils of perception, blurring the line between structure and atmosphere.

At the lower center, two small figures appear engaged in dialogue or performance, grounding the composition in human presence. Their delicate scale contrasts with the monumental mask above, hinting at themes of identity, concealment, and the roles we inhabit. The mask becomes both a silent observer and a symbol of the hidden self.

The painting radiates with vibrant colors—pinks, blues, yellows, and greens—that heighten its theatrical quality. Movement and stillness coexist, evoking the fragile play between authenticity and disguise. Through abstraction and symbolism, the work invites reflection on the masks we wear and the truth that lingers behind them.
