Masks of Common Use: Sculptures by Lucas Amaral

Beautiful series of sculptural masks by Barcelona-based visual artist and graphic designer Lucas Amaral.

“One of the characteristics of my work is the creation of imaginary universes based on real life. In this project, each universe lives inside a mask, they have faces, identities and are inspired by social behaviors within the world we live in. Due to safety measures, masks have acquired new meanings in recent years. The idea of communication and cultural representation went to the background and the immediate thought about the element is directed to separation and protection.

Within this context came my need to talk about what is common and what can unite us. The title of the project contrasts with the ‘individual’ or ‘single-use’ masks that have already become an essential element of everyday life in many countries.”
