Description
This painting is based on one of my favorite poems “The mask I wear”. You can read it on community4me.com. It is a very powerful and moving poem that has deeply affected me over the years. One night after reading it several times, I fell asleep and had a vivid dream with this mask in it. I woke up and quickly sketched what I had seen and went back to bed. The next day I painted this.
Many times in life, we put on a figurative mask in front of other people according to what we feel they want to see or hear. At other times, we may put up a mask that shows others the artificial appearance that we are doing quite well, whereas in reality we are in deep turmoil or pain. However, as the saying goes “the eyes are the windows of the soul”. As depicted here, even when a person has a strong front put up, if a true friend looks deeply in their eyes and listens closely to what they say, that friend can many times discern the real situation.

Thought-provoking indeed Sam. The art itself is interesting, almost surreal, where more and more layers are uncovered, especially around the eyes, upon further review. Great job!
