Venetian Mask Painting in Green and Ivory with Closed Eyelids - Domes and Venetian Facades - Venice Mask Edition

The visual

This painting reveals a feminine face with closed eyes, covered with a mask adorned with swirls and stylized floral motifs. The dominant palette plays on shades of sage green and anthracite green, applied in textured blocks reminiscent of watercolors and stained antique papers. The background, treated in a washed-out off-white , reveals in filigree the silhouettes of Venetian buildings and domes, anchoring the composition in the imagination of Venice. The lips, the only touches of terracotta warm, contrast with the general coldness of the work. Ink splashes and fine outline strokes add a graphic and almost engraved dimension to the whole. The composition, centered and frontal, immediately catches the eye thanks to the play of shadows and grainy textures. The whole exudes a sober elegance, between contemporary illustration and homage to the tradition of the Venetian mask.
