I've done this painting because in my world I find that you can't show your feelings, your fragility and vulnerability, but be strong, tough, confident, funny and happy, and when you're not what people expect of you, you're judged out and rejected in a condescending way that I don't like about people, they expect you to be the person you experience when you are at work an amazing, strong and perfect human that I am not. I find myself hiding behind a living mask, even though you're really the opposite. I have experienced it from my own world that I should never be myself so as not to be bullied, rejected and judged it resulted in a severe depression because it is hard to hide behind a living mask all the time and be perfect when those you meet in your path are evil and selfish, because a familymember has given you pain inside from childhood and brought you on a black path among bad people, the person was not understanding and loving.
The painting is abstract on canvas, if you look closely then you can see a hand holding a mask next to a face, to illustrate you are hiding behind a living mask, I have painted the face and the mask behind the abstraction because I do not like the fact that I can not be myself. The mask and hand I have painted with patterns I think patterns are great to look at, I have painted patterns inspired from tribal art, in my world tribal people live in freedom and are free people. I made heart signs it is important that you are loving, that you show that you want other people a better life than yourself. I've done the yellow and white dots because it looks good. The keywords are the desires and dreams I have about my life and people. I chose the colors because I like them.
