About the Item

Mis Secretos is an oil on canvas painting, canvas size 25.5 x 32", signed 'felix mas' lower right and framed in a Spanish-style, closed-corner, black and gold frame. Spanish artist Felix Mas has a rare gift for capturing his vision of female beauty - his figures are luminous and fresh, his perspective a celebration of many cultures and idealizations. His eclectic paintings are filled with luxuries in both the physical and spiritual sense, dazzling troves of wonder that will excite and intrigue any who beholds them. Born in Barcelona in 1935, his interest in art began as a child and he attended the San Jorge Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona as young man. His first solo exhibition was held at the Galeria Jaimes in Barcelona and others soon followed throughout Europe and the Americas. Each woman in his paintings is exquisitely dressed in rich fabrics that are elegantly draped, often surrounded by ornamentation and glossy accessories. These figures - exquisitely attired, exotically bejeweled, and gloriously seductive - create a feeling of intensity and intimacy along with elegance and sensuality, which define his work. Travel is a pervasive inspiration and influence on Mas’ work and the sensibility of his figures. He is clearly influenced by Asian culture including a deep respect for Japan -most notably, its woodblock prints, kimonos, satin, birds, and flora - as well as the fashions of India, and the allure of the ancient world. Egypt especially entrances him with its mystery, perfection, greatness, splendor, symmetry, and symbols. Mas is a traditional painter whose fascination lies with the expressive potential of the human body. He uses the highest quality products and often has the urge to create his own colors, mixing the pigments in a mortar himself. His studio is his world… a world in which he is continually surrounded and inspired by art, architecture, and most importantly, music. He has said, “Every day for me is Sunday. I am happy with life. I love good things, the classics and spending time with my children and family.”
