"Mascaron" is a 1990 work by Ukrainian artist Oleg Holosiy (1965-1993). The artwork depicts a stylized human face with a pronounced orange halo around the head against a dark blue background. This minimalist, expressive style characteristic of Holosiy's art is influenced by Abstract Expressionism and the artistic movements of the 1980s in the Soviet Union. The work evokes a sense of introspection and emotional intensity, common themes in Holosiy's oeuvre.
