About the Work
The deep reds in “Transparencias” allude to Mas' focus on sensuality along with the rich fabrics that lend the painting a lush and enigmatic feeling. A recurring symbol in the artist's works is the presence of a peacock feather that represents a hidden masculine influence.
For Felix Mas, painting exudes color, emotion and impression. His elegant female figures captivate us with their graceful radiance and evocatively strong emotions. The ocean breathes life and excitement into the world for Mas personifying this uplifting work.
Felix Mas finds inspiration in women amidst the opulent settings of the Asian world, especially Japan and India with their beautiful costumes and landscape, Egypt, ripe with its enigmatic symbols, and ancient Greece and Rome, saturated with their unique elegance and sensuality. Mas is best known for his “sensual elegance” as he captures idealized visions of femininity in his oil paintings and graphic works.
His works rely on bold colors used in concert with provocative body language. The gaze of his subject is often diverted, allowing the viewer to apprehend his paintings without engagement. Each woman is dressed in richly colored fabrics, uniquely achieved through pigments he creates himself, that are elegantly draped throughout all his works.
