Tragedy & Comedy - Embroidered Art

This embroidered artwork celebrates the timeless symbols of the stage - the Tragedy and Comedy masks, representing the duality of human experience and the heart of theater itself.

The masks are rendered in striking detail using a blend of traditional and contemporary techniques. Goldwork, beadweaving, thread embroidery, and mixed media textiles combine to create depth, contrast, and a shimmering effect that brings the classic theatrical emblems to life. The result is a dramatic and vibrant piece that captures both the joy and sorrow woven into performance and storytelling.

This artwork is both a decorative statement and a symbolic treasure, ideal for collectors, theater lovers, and anyone who cherishes the art of storytelling.
