A era das máscaras

Abstract

The present work focuses on the creation of original characters. They have a tribal visuality and carry with them characteristics of various real cultures, which I use as inspiration to develop the work. The merging of these characters gives rise into a series called The Age of Masks. The figures carry an element of great importance, the mask itself. All characters present are masked. Each mask has its own unique character and brings with it a supernatural, divine gift. These are images created through the language of watercolor and ink, delicate techniques that oppose the rigidity of masks. The main purpose is the creation of these characters, they form a kind of pantheon and are part of an imaginative, fictional world, a mythology created by me. After the creation of these masked beings, I began to write a series of stories for them and I have the future goal of creating a book. Human beings and masks share the same origin, so begins the creation of the universe of these masked creatures.
