| Description |
Wearing a striped tunic and bold facial paint, this
exquisite figure appears like a reveler at some
ancient carnival. The artist's ability to convey a
gentle human warmth in an essentially abstract
form, gives Chinesco figures their timeless
appeal. Their mood is quiet, introspective, a bit
shy but observant. They seem aware of ageless
secrets, as if the passage of time has given them
knowledge of universal truths about human
existence. They keep this information to
themselves, however, as if preferring that we
discover the answers for ourselves.
