At the age of twenty, I would ask myself, “who am I going to be?".Today, with my thirties fast approaching, the question has changed: now I ask myself, “who should I be in the creative sphere?”.Persona is the Latin word that refers to “the artist’s mask”.

Drawing on several fields, such as philosophy, psychology and anthropology, the aim is to find out if being an artist implies creating a dual identity.
