This painting, titled Mask Off, captures a close-up of the artist, Genevieve’s face contorted in an intense emotional expression, eyes shut tightly and lips drawn into a grimace. The background is a vivid red, while golden lines radiate from the top of the head like electric currents or strands of hair, amplifying the emotional charge of the image. The facial features are rendered with bold, textured brushstrokes in warm tones of red, pink, and brown, emphasizing raw vulnerability. The composition fills the frame, forcing the viewer into intimate confrontation with the subject’s pain or release. Mask Off evokes the moment when emotion breaks through composure, revealing the truth beneath.
