Each character has a mask, or persona, whether they have a physical constructed mask on their face or not. For example, the lovers' masks are the painted faces of the actors. A mask has no past, it lives in the present. They are not effected by the events on stage. In other words, they never change. An actor's hands never touch the mask. Nothing can interfere with the gaze, the facial expression, of the mask. The mask is the center of the character. It drives the character and leads all action.

Bule, como se conoce a este maestro del arte de la confecci?n de m?scaras, se aparta del tradicional diablo para crear unas impresionantes caretas inspiradas en la morada final de hombre, la muerte. Los rostros creados por ?l, representan osamentas que abren sus mand?bulas y saca a relucir una impresionante dentadura elaborada con dientes de vaca, cerdo o cualquier otro animal. Lantigua Cruz, artista y profesor, experimenta con varias t?cnicas en su trabajo, adem?s de las m?scaras mencionadas anteriormente, crea otras inspiradas en sus propias fantas?as e investigaciones, como lo son, aquellas que nos remontan a la legendaria Africa, con rostro tosco y pelo realizado con soga o cabuya.

I have studied various art forms, from graphic design to fashion design, and dance, as well as self taught expressions such as jewelery design and poetry writing. Each of these mediums has influenced my mask designs. I became interested in mask design while studying Anthropology, as well as vast metaphysical literature. My methods are all self taught and I don't plan any of my pieces, I just go with the flow. Materials range from velvet and leather to crystals,chain, plaster and feathers. Each of these masks were titled after completion. They became themselves I guess. I started creating as a small child and have found the true path of my soul through creation. I welcome any inquiries for commissioned works or creative partnerships such as fashion shows or photo shoots. Please refer to the contact page on this site.

The ancient shamanic rite of mask-making is a powerful healing ritual to awaken to archetypal energies and rebalance energies. It is a process of going into a quiet meditative state to call upon the unconscious forces to surface. The image is "dreamed" into the mask as it is molded to one's face. Then through the art of designing the mask, the energies surface in the conscious mind enabling you to work with them in your life and awaken you to deeper and higher states of awareness. I am available to do individual one-on-one mask-making healings or mask-making workshops.

Lucrecia Novoa studied Fine Arts in University of Chile and the Massachusetts College of Arts In 1996, Lucrecia attended the Art of the Mask course offered by Eric Bornstein. This was a turning point in her career. Under Eric's patient guidance, she learned not only techniques of mask masking but also how to mold gestures and expressions into the masks. In the process of creating them, Lucrecia was forced to look at her self in the mirror constantly. What she found was the recollection of past anxieties, frustrations and anger. That's why her first masks were very dark
