"Hidden Faces III", a vibrant canvas within the "Les Messagères" series, is infused with the spirit and warmth of the years I spent living in Mexico. This semi-abstract oil painting bursts with the exuberance of Latin American culture, its rich fuchsia backdrop enlivened by the revealing smile of an Amerindian mask. Through the textured strokes and celebratory hues, dancing animal forms emerge, reminiscent of a ritualistic gathering around a sacred fire. The painting radiates with the joy of life, encapsulating the vibrant spirit of a fiesta. It's an homage to the sacred flame that burns at the heart of existence, the fervor of communal celebration, and the enduring smile of heritage that unites us in moments of pure, unbridled delight.
