Description
We take great comfort in the idea that within each of us, beneath the many masks we wear, is a kernel of "self" - something solid and unchanging that represents who we really are... In actuality, our personalities are an ever-changing mirror of our circumstances; each of us is a mere change of scenery away from yielding to our better angels or inner demons.LIMITED EDITION PRINTS OF THIS PAINTING ARE AVAILABLE FOR 48 HOURS ONLY: tinyurl.com/masks48hr
I painted this one in ink, watercolor, and white charcoal; you can find a step-by-step tutorial on the painting process here: wyliebeckert.com/process.php?s… .

This is what happen when real you self not fit in the environment we call society,as time goes on,you will realize : if you want more rich life, you must let masks become part of you personality. people are environment creature,not until society encourage or at least allow we show who we really are,the Masks will always around everyone...

It's superb, I also love the way each mask looks like a speech bubble. a visual metaphor for our words being an element of the masks presented.

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?
CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.
CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.
CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.
Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED

Very beautiful yet haunting depiction of the existential struggle we all face in life. The way the masks of personality swirl around the figure like a cage repressing the agonized core "self" is very poignant. For me it perfectly represents living with something like an anxiety disorder, where the beast is always present in the backdrop behind the mask we put out to society as a way to contain it.

Artful expression of existential angst, and like the sheer variety of masks - shows just how many different faces the poor man has to show towards the outside world, while keeping his true feelings locked deep inside of him: resentment disguised as forgivefulness, disappointment masked as acceptance, disapproval masked behind politeness, the list goes on. Great work!
