About the Artwork:
“The mask has been very present in our lives in the last years, but we can’t say that it has been something completely brand new for us. The mask has always been, in one way or another, literally or figuratively, part of the human being: it is the wall we build between the outside and the inside. It is the curtain of a theatre play that hides what we don’t want to be seen. It is the hard shell that protects the fragile interior. It is the prison of the creature. It is the mystery of what is behind it.” – Albert Victoria
