There are masks that, when you encounter them, enchant you.
They look inside you, strip you of every defense, and fill the air with magic.
There are masks that look inside you and, passing through the heart,
nourish emotions lost in time.
Portraits are absolutely my favorite thing to paint, I guess because of the emotions that gazes convey. It almost feels like I can bring a painting to life, infusing it with a piece of soul.
Creating a portrait is like being watched by your own artwork.
