Heart of the Sun

Heart of the Sun radiates warmth and symbolism through its vivid amber tones and intricate painted design. Handcrafted by Ivan Piza, this palm frond mask features a commanding face with a glowing heart at its center—surrounded by flowing lines and floral patterns that echo the energy of sunlight. The bold reds and oranges are balanced by soft blue and white accents, adding dimension and rhythm to the piece.
The upper section tells a quiet scene—a figure in repose or prayer—hinting at the spiritual themes often woven into Piza’s work. As your eye moves downward, the decorative motifs become increasingly complex, with detailed borders and soft, reflective hues giving it life from every angle.
