Abstract

The face and the mask inspired many artists as Ensor and Picasso. The research aims to address the contradiction between face and mask of women that reflects or hides their feelings. The researcher tries to discover her artistic signs that may be inspired by the art’s pioneers. It is expressed by the relationships between the plastic vocabularies, it is symbolically highlighting the psychology of women by abstraction and analysis to rebuild the plastic and express movement and vision from different angles, the sociological method considers any work as a sign of two sides: image and concept. The researcher deals with the mask using mixed materials and her mental visualizations from digital arts. The result of the research is that the technical experience is known beforehand as a mental image, but the output is different due to dealing with raw materials. The painting is the product of the artist and the inspiration.
