This is a picture I took from the tracks on the sand at Sunset Beach, in a beautiful day of winter, many people must have left them, mine must be somewhere here. There´s not a single one that catches our attention, this is the way I´ve seen it, like a deep texture at the seaside, extended to the infinite. The clear ¨white¨ has been added as a reminder of the shells.
This digital painting is related to a previous one, Grinning Mask in the Mirror. Finally, the man who was wearing the mask was an assassin and his victim´s blood was spread on the mirror. Or reflected on it. The image of the man with the mask is slowly disappearing from the scene.
There´s a man wearing an old mask, maybe from Venice. And he is really sinister... I imagine him reflected in a mirror, but he could also be looking at me through a window. The ribbons are part of the carnival.
The fleur-de-lis or fleur-de-lys (plural: fleurs-de-lis) is a stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower, and lis means lily) or iris that is used as a decorative design or symbol. It may be "at one and the same time, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic", especially in heraldry.
