PERSONA FICTA

GUILLO PEREZ 3Persona FictaGraphite on canvas50 x 60 in "Persona Ficta" is a thought-provoking artwork by Greg Latch, depicted in graphite on canvas, delving into the intersection of art and commerce. The Latin title translates to "Fictitious Person," offering insight into the theme of the piece. In this compelling composition, Latch presents a suited self-portrait, juxtaposing the artist's traditional image with the veneer of corporate attire. Through this visual metaphor, the artwork explores the dynamic relationship between artistic expression and the commercial demands of the art world. The suited figure symbolizes the adaptation artists often make to navigate the commerce-driven landscape of the arts. In a world where appearances hold significance, the piece challenges the notion of authenticity and the masks individuals, including artists, must wear to fit societal expectations. "Persona Ficta" prompts viewers to contemplate the complexities of identity and the masks we all don
