Original artwork description:

"Silent Masquerade" is a hauntingly evocative charcoal and graphite portrait exploring the fragile boundary between performance and vulnerability. The subject's piercing gaze and smeared, theatrical clown makeup evoke themes of emotional depth, internal chaos, and masked sorrow. Shadows and harsh contrasts draw attention to the raw, human intensity behind the disguise—challenging the viewer to confront their own hidden truths.

This piece is perfect for collectors who are drawn to psychological narratives, dark aesthetics, and expressive realism. Whether seen as a symbol of tragedy or resilience, Silent Masquerade speaks in quiet volumes.
