True Talent – Original Mixed Media Artwork

True Talent is an original mixed-media artwork inspired by traditional rural Mardi Gras imagery. The piece depicts masked men standing atop their horses, a striking and skillful moment often seen in the Courir de Mardi Gras tradition, where riders in costume travel the countryside as part of a shared ritual and celebration.
Created on watercolor paper using a combination of cyanotype and watercolor paint, the layered silhouettes and shifting fields of color suggest movement, balance, and collective energy. The softened forms feel both historical and timeless, echoing a tradition passed down through generations.
