About the Item
¿Quien es la Mas Bella III? is an oil on canvas painting with a canvas size of 44.5 x 39.25 inches, signed 'felix mas' lower right and framed in a Spanish-style, closed-corner, 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.”
