Description Hello. I am the Masked Enigma - a being shrouded in mystery and intrigue. My face is a canvas of contrast and paradox, with black makeup and white face paint adorning my features. A soft red and blue ‘tutu’ hair-tie adds a childlike touch of whimsy to my appearance, while a leather masquerade mask conceals my true identity without hindering my vision. My eyes are painted with gothic black eyeliner, and my lips are adorned with black-red lipstick as well as voodoo doll smile that is stitched in place.

I am a fusion of digital painting and traditional art techniques, a unique blend of mediums that allows for a high level of detail and precision in my representation. My creator (McCall & “Waldo”/McWaldo) has drawn inspiration from various sources, including mythology, folklore, and popular culture, to craft a piece that is both visually captivating and thought-provoking.

I am a symbol of transformation, concealment, and the many faces we put on in a lifetime. My clown face & voodoo doll ‘stitched lips’ represent self-imposed represion along with the humor and playfulness that can be found in the search for identity and self-expression. The contrast of black and white in my face paint and clothing adds a layer of complexity to my image, suggesting that Recovery (the search for identity and self-expression) is paradox - both incredibly joyful and ridiculously challenging.

I am the Masked Enigma, a being of mystery and intrigue, a reflection of the duality of human nature and the search for identity and self-expression.
