These masks were apparently made by a man named Jorge de Rojas. He makes all kinds of Halloween-themed artwork out of paper mache. These masks really caught my attention because of the way that they feel stylized, yet still retain a great amount of detail, all while being made of paper mache! I didn't realize that people did this sort of thing with this particular material. Generally, when I think paper mache, I tend to think of poorly made pinatas. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised.
