When the Mask Falls
In When the Mask Falls, the artist explores the layered complexity of identity through a striking dual portrait. The canvas is split between vibrant abstraction and monochromatic realism, revealing two contrasting visages that coexist within a single form. Earth tones and expressive drips evoke cultural memory and emotional depth, while the stark right side suggests restraint and introspection. The jagged divide between the two halves is not merely visual—it’s symbolic of the tension between authenticity and societal expectation. Cunha’s work invites viewers to reflect on the masks we wear, the stories they conceal, and the truths that emerge when they fall away.
