Masked acrobat

I guess we are all masked acrobats, not showing our feelings, unable to speak of our needs. Tony's biggest need was being able to just paint, just play music. More than once he said If at the end I become to sick, just put me in a room with my materials and instruments and put some food inside every day... You can feel the concentration on the instrument in the picture above. He is playing the 'Crying Madonna', bought in Montellano near Seville. The painting Masked acrobat is in Antwerp, owned by a fellow artist who has quite an impressive overall collection.
