"The Mask" by Michael Parkes
Limited Edition Stone Lithograph
Mystical, contemplative, and rich with symbolism, Michael Parkes’
The Mask
is an invitation to step beyond the surface and into the unknown. This stunning stone lithograph captures a moment of quiet reflection, where reality and dreams meet in a delicate balance.
A solitary figure, draped in flowing robes, sits against an ancient stone wall, holding a warm cup in her hands. Her expression is one of deep thought, as if she is contemplating a choice yet to be made. To her side, a red mask hangs suspended—an emblem of identity, illusion, and transformation. Does it represent a role she once played, or one she is yet to embrace? Meanwhile, a small cat—symbolizing curiosity and independence—ventures forward, stepping carefully onto floating stone slabs that lead into the unknown, a metaphor for faith, change, and the journey ahead.
With its soft, warm tones and Parkes’ signature attention to detail,
The Mask
is more than a work of art—it is an exploration of life’s great questions, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own path. A must-have for collectors who appreciate depth, mystery, and timeless beauty, this lithograph will add an air of serenity and introspection to any space.
