Painted on dark canvas in sombre shades, the work centres on a human figure with unseen features. A faded black mask covers the face, with a red diamond on the forehead symbolising wealth. No expression, no direction: only ornamented darkness.
Yet the eyes looking at the painting feel as though the mask is staring back. “This mask is not there to hide the face, but to protect it from merciless looks and unforgiving judgments.”
