Awarded the 6th International Prize Leonardo da Vinci, “Veil of Mystery” explores the delicate boundary between revelation and concealment. The veiled, faceless figure rises toward the light, while touches of gold suggest rarity, resilience, and the sacredness of what remains hidden. Through its interplay of shadow, texture, and silence, the work invites contemplation of identity, secrecy, and the inner worlds we protect from view.
