What does power look like? 👀🎭

Mauro created this mask as a metaphor for power: religious✝️, political👑, and economic💵.
A cruel expression, a mitre, a crown, and even hidden dollars… every detail has a meaning.

What do you see when you look at this artistic Venetian mask?

In our last video, some of you asked how we create these playing card masks... so here’s the process! 💫

Every card is placed by hand, and even the “imperfections” are part of the final design.
Would you have guessed that this is how we create it? 👀

WE MADE A MASK FOR NICKI MINAJ!!! 😱🎭

A few years ago, Atelier Versace called us with a very special request: a custom mask for Nicki Minaj to wear on the red carpet at the MTV Europe Music Awards.🎤

We had just ONE WEEK to make it from scratch and get it all the way to Bilbao. 😳

Do you like the result? Would you wear this mask? 🤩

Did Ca’ Macana really make masks for Eyes Wide Shut? 🎭🎞️

Yes! and the story behind it is even more fascinating than you might think.👀

Stanley Kubrick helped bring Venetian masks into a completely new cultural imagination and introduced them to an audience all over the world.

❤️A little piece of Venetian craftsmanship made it onto the big screen.🎬

Same mask, different souls 🎭

Every mask in this carousel started from the exact same base.
Yet, through colors, textures, gold leaf, lace, rhinestones, each one became something completely different!🤩

There are endless possibilities hidden inside a single shape.

You asked, Matteo answered 🎭

One of the most common questions we receive is: *Why do you sand the masks?*

Sanding may not be the most exciting part of the process, but it’s one of the most important. It smooths the surface, removes the ridges left by overlapping layers of papier-mâché, and prepares the mask for painting and decoration.

It’s one of those steps that often goes unnoticed, yet it makes all the difference in the final result.

Behind every finished Venetian mask are days of work, drying time, sanding, painting, and decoration.

Creating a Venetian mask means working through different techniques, materials, hands, and each phase requiring time, precision, and experience. ✨

From raw paper to final decoration, every detail you see is the result of a process that can’t be rushed or replicated by machines. 🎭
This is what handmade really means.
