FACES. A story of a painting

I’ve been busy doing reels and stories about this painting. It’s one of my bigger ones ever. During the pandemics at a certain point I couldn’t deal with half-faces reduced by the mask wearing. I wanted to surround myself with faces. So through print on canvas, embroidery and oil paint this artwork came to life. Silent faces with eyes wide open. Anyone is free to fill them with meaning and emotion. Please take a look at my video here. What do you think? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGa_4HENdld/?igsh=MTJuMTV1ZXF6bGVqMQ==
