Wow….wow…all these masks and I love every one of them….gorgeous work. Intense and intimate.
helene ruiz replied
i did these paintings in 2006 along with walking amongst the phonies(here on my folio also) worked on them running in circles and turning the canvases while listening to music, i just let the brush and color come from the music….they are very long 6ft and very narrow 3 feet wide….

Layers of masks = no wonder the color is so deep!
A terrible thought, but so true and and dangerous for the naive among us…
helene ruiz replied
yes we are surrounded by people wearing masks everyday arent we

I love this…fits together well. The difference between this and “Know Your Friends” is night and day, yet it seems to be the same message.
helene ruiz replied
lol..yes…same message.. different use of symbols

Hands masking motivations for acting.
Lips masking twisting of hearts frustations.
Chins masking a trembling of the soul.
Eyes masking the clear feelings of anger or tenderness.
Shoulders masking the coldness that it is not.
Laberynth of forms in expressive dancing…
a bachanalian freedom o masks….
ready to rest….
upon…..

I don’t know why but I have NOT been getting these! Darn it! If it wasn’t for your calendar, I never would have known they existed! And, yes, and oh my, do I want to know they exist.
This is beautiful! I love the jumbledness of it, all, and the details on the masks, and the colors, and everything!
Also, the theme reminds me a bit of On The Way To The Masquerade, which I need to actually work on and make a painting of. At least a digital painting!
helene ruiz replied
thx arletta….im out of town…..can only get online when someone comes thru w/a laptop i can borrow…wont be home for 2 wks..

Hola Helene love the smooth blend of color and the lovely composition, with a hint of, and air of mystery. the detail and center of focus is excellent, the passion of just a close-up is beautiful, what can I say love your style lady

Great composition,a work of art,seem like they have something to hide.

exactly, except for the woman holding hers and looking at it, wondering if she should wear hers to just fit it, or continue just living as who she was born to be
