About the Item

Plumas X is an oil on canvas painting with an image size of 45.5 x 34.5 inches, signed 'felix mas' lower left and framed in a Spanish-style, closed-corner, black and gold frame. Felix Mas is in many ways an alchemist, transforming each canvas into treasure. These once void foundations are developed into dreamlike visions – some elements recognizable to us as grounded in reality but blended with areas of surreal fantasy. It is the gentle genius of Felix Mas that lays claim to these lyrical beauties. Felix Mas was born in Barcelona and following extensive travels throughout Europe he returned to his native city, where he continues to work and reside. Mas’s studio is lively with classical music, friends, and family always about, offsetting the silence, allowing him to work for hours at a time; days passing without notice. He is an enchanting man, one of slight but refined frame who emanates pure joy. If you are fortunate enough to meet him in person, just a few moments of interaction will give you insight into his jubilant soul. He is not confined by the issues of modern life, instead he approaches his life with vigor and a gratitude for the good fortunes he has received – his creative impulse, his health, and his family. A man with such infinite spirit is the only one capable of producing works of this virtue. Mas casts a tender gaze upon the female that is at times transcendental, their forms become akin to those of Goddesses, because he simply sees them as such. Every painting is extraordinarily sensual - the models confidently permissive, the artist a devoted voyeur. Recurring symbols and themes in his artwork center around Egyptian art forms, Asian cultural elements and a treasure chest of items which seem to catalog the history of human adornment – feathers, jewels, shells, fans, floral and plant motifs, fantastic coifs, luxurious fabrics, and the alchemical effect of light as it interacts with each of these. One of his favorite places is the sea and he fondly evokes this in his paintings by incorporating shells, seahorses, waves, and fan shapes. Some of his most dramatic examples portray women directly as enchanting and luscious sirens, glittering with the pearlescent light of the sea and with their hair swirling in the ocean’s current. 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.”

List plus Dopamine
By Rene Ramos
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Rene Ramos Lust plus Dopamine Oil on Canvas, Signed Cuba 2015 31.5 x 25.5 Inches Rene Ramos was born into a family of accomplished artists. Hi father Rene Martinez Sopena was an accomplished sculptor and teacher at the prestigious San Alejandro School, where Rene and his brother Yuri Martinez Ramos, also a world renowned painter, were graduates. The Martinez/Sopena family can also count amongst their artistic luminaries Hector Martinez and Sergio Martinez Sopena, uncles of Rene and Yuri, both master sculptors with works included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Bellas Artes in Havana, as well as countless collections around the world. Rene from a young age was a master drawer and painter, winning countless awards and scholarships. The competitive and artistic family atmosphere with his father, uncles and brother solidified Rene’s future aspirations of becoming an accomplished figurative painter of Cuban social scenes. The dynamics of Rene’s works can best be described as a narrative of whimsical social commentary of what it truly means to be Cuban in the latter half of the twentieth century and beyond. He takes his ques from family and friends and their interrelationships within Cuban society as it currently unfolds on the island. His works are not political in nature but rather reflects a poignant reminder of the resiliency of the Cuban spirit. His works offer a superior measure of detail utilizing a flow of powerful colors that jump off the canvas. One cannot help but admire and cherish any work of Rene’s a collector decides to take home.
