Ri Meuser von Eschmar layers pigments and gold dust in up to 16 stages to achieve that dreamlike transparency that allows the being's face to hover between reality and myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtmosphere \u0026amp; Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe viewer is transported into a state of quiet awe – the masked figure gazes from another time, another reality.
