Whispers of the Krewe

This graphite artwork captures the mysterious beauty of Mardi Gras masquerade culture. Two elaborately decorated masks emerge from a swirl of feathers, beads, and shadows—almost as if they’re spirits moving through a parade at night. The bold black patterns, dramatic shading, and intricate beadwork create a haunting yet elegant vibe. The expressions on the masks feel alive, telling silent stories of New Orleans tradition, celebration, and hidden identities.
