Description

The artwork “Hidden Emotions IV,” measuring 100×100 cm and executed in acrylic on canvas, is an expressive representation of the complexity of human emotions. In this piece, Maseda captures the tension between what is shown and what is reserved within the subject.

The use of black and white accentuates the play of light and shadow, highlighting the facial features and the introspective gaze of the character, who seems to be searching for something beyond the canvas. The dramatic contrast of lighting reveals depth in the expression of emotional struggle.

The figure, depicted with a hand on the face, has eyes partially concealed, adding an element of mystery and emphasizing the concept of hidden emotions. The touch of fluorescent pink, applied with a technique suggesting movement and spontaneity, breaks the monochromatic palette and suggests a manifestation of feelings struggling to surface.

The acrylic technique allows Maseda to create rich and varied textures, with brushstrokes ranging from softly blended to decisively marked, reflecting the variety of emotions proposed by the title of the work. “Hidden Emotions” is, therefore, a piece that invites reflection on the human mind, vulnerability, and the resilience of the spirit.
