From the series: Lace of the Universe
"Masquerade Pink" is a quiet breath after the celebration — the soft echo of a masked night, unfolding into the gentle light of morning. This artwork is a delicate meditation on memory, transformation, and the fine line between concealment and revelation.
A lacework of intricate patterns flows across the canvas like whispered thoughts, forming half a rose and half a mask. The rose blossoms with serene grace, while the fragments of lace continue to ripple outward, as if memory itself is blooming.
Unlike its twin, "Masquerade Carmen", which burns with the passion and drama of a carnival night, "Masquerade Pink" invites us into a softer space — one of reflection, vulnerability, and quiet strength. It captures that intimate moment when the mask is lifted, and what remains is the lingering beauty of what was felt.
This painting is one half of my soul. It’s a journey into the light after the intensity of the dance. I want the viewer to follow the lace thread — through every curve and spiral — discovering hidden patterns and soft emotions, as the Queen of Flowers slowly reveals herself from within.
The piece is created on a pink-toned canvas using a fine ink technique that enhances the lace’s texture and contrast, giving it a sense of ethereal depth and elegance.
