The world of masked fools (2024)

Oil on canvas, 80×90 cm

The painting titled The world of masked fools depicts a theater stage with performers, all wearing masks. This is the world of people who hide their true nature. The central message of the painting is that the world is essentially a well-orchestrated performance—one that requires sacrificing the authenticity of one’s soul to partake in it. This painting is a continuation of the first piece, titled Temptations, which depicts a man being tempted by numerous demons offering him the chance to don a mask and enter the staged, hypocritical world of fools. The second canvas reveals this world in full.
