Ghost african masks

Everyone knows african masks have strongly influenced avant-garde art of the early 20th-century.
I felt I had to do something with my interest in those, the result was not good enough, but funny, some kind of involuntary disrespect. This convoluted "ghost african masks", are the result of the mix of my fear (yes) and admiration of the liberian Dan masks, with the colourful of Congo's M'Teke masks. Really, the Dan masks scare me.

This is a very fine piece, and your title is spot on. The more I stared, the more masks I saw. The "Ghost Masks" just started appearing. I don't know if this was by design, but I did see them. Again, this is an excellent piece, and very African. I think this is one of your finest!
