Created in red, white, black (the national colors of the Trinidad and Tobago flag) and gold, it is a depiction of the energy of Carnival masqueraders. This painting comes from a unique collection of 20 paintings called Wild and Free Spirits. The masqueraders are portrayed as spirits not defined by race, color or gender roaming the tropical island. These spirits dance. They prance and they vibrate with movement, ecstasy and joy. They embody the essence of the spirit of Carnival and they become one with the island and with each other moving harmonically to the sweet sounds of steelpan, calypso and soca.
