“Modern Masks”: They are supposed to be the key factors of inner changes balance. This series of paintings is a way of understanding the human double-faced nature through the portrait – external (light and shadow) and inner (psychological) characteristics. “Irony”, “Skepticism”, “Envy” or “Cynicism” all together are reactions or masks used for equilibration”.
