The Italian Brooklyn-based artist experimented once again with his signature portraits. The pupil of Federico Massa&#8217;s eyes always shimmers, creating an appealing and lively figure. His mask-like figures brings the saying, &#8220;Plaster a smile on&#8221; to life. The viewers&#8217; inability to tell whether the smiles are fake or not makes his work that much more intriguing.</p>

<p>Constantly finding innovative ways to depict basic face features, Cruz always surprises us. A recurrent symbol in his piece is  a cross  in his character&#8217;s forehead. Perhaps he feels compelled to put religion on the forefront of his work maybe? His characters are always inspired by a culture: whether it&#8217;s Mexico or marine life.</p>

<p>Cruz&#8217;s work is strengthen by his ability to convey emotions through a deeper use of colors. The artist always uses a particular shape for his character&#8217;s eyes. The only variation being their color, and each color is associated to a different emotion.</p>
