Open call for proposals

eva International (formerly ev+a) is pleased to announce that the international open call for proposals is now open.

So this piece represents an old tradition of my country, it's sort of like Halloween but we have a specific type of masks and costumes. So the people gather together and put on their costumes and start to dance to chase away the ghost and witches so the year would be fruitful and productive. My representation of the women is dancing in front of two shadows in the both corners of the painting, the second one is not very visible! Hope you enjoy this one!

This doesn't have much meaning, it's just a rendition and my perception of the sunset at the moment of making!
