Artist's Comments

This was a very special leather mask, commissioned by my brother as a gift for Franco Dragone. I called it "The Dream" because it was given to him on the occasion of the opening of his show "Le Reve" at the Wynn in Las Vegas.

Le Reve is a pretty awesome, eclectic show so I wanted this to be a pretty awesome eclectic mask. The elements of earth (amber, turquoise, & Botswana agate) are represented, as well as air (gold angel's wing) and water (art deco waterfall, fish fin). All these elements appear in the show, as well as the flowing Art Nouveau red scarf which also appears in the show & ties everything together.

He was apparently very pleased with the mask so, mission accomplished. ^_^

That is one crazy mask. Definitely eclectic for sure. At first I thought it was some sort of abstract painting haha. Great stuff!

wow thats a complex mask. just the sheer method of switching stlyes must have been difficult. I especialy like how you did the cloth with engraving lines to bring out its dimension.

OMG He's your brother!?! That's awesome!
I haven't seen any of the Cirque du Soleil shows but I saw Celine Dion's show, which he made, right? xD

What an amazing pair of siblings! :D

I love how unique and different the mask is compared to your other ones!

A strange design, but quite suitable from the sounds of it. Very nice use of symbolism!
