About the Item

Rosa Amarilla Artist signed front and verso dated and titled. Felix Mas was born in 1935 Barcelona, Spain. He studied art at Saint Jordi and joined the military, where he stayed until 1957. After leaving the military he joined the Spanish art agency Seleciones Illustrada and started working for various romance comics for companies like Fleetway and Valentine. He also drew the detective story Lt. Kane for T.V. Heroes. During the 1960s Mas worked in Scandinavia as an illustrator. He returned to comics in 1969 with D.C. Thomson's Romeo. Mas was hired by American company Warren Publishing in 1972: he subsequently drew a total of 17 horror stories for their magazines Creepy and Vampirella until January 1975. The story "The Vampiress Stalks the Castle at Night" from Vampirella #21 was included within a list of the top 25 Warren stories in the book The Warren Companion by David Roach. After leaving Warren, Mas moved to Venezuela and stopped his comic work, choosing instead to focus on painting. He would later move to Florida. He then furthered his artistic education with extensive travels throughout Europe, as well as North and South America. Eventually he returned to his native Barcelona to work. Felix Mas uses his paintbrush to convey emotion. He considers himself a traditionalist, obsessed with form and color, creating images that celebrate femininity and luminous beauty of the female form. For Mas, painting implies color, emotion and impression. His elegantly dressed female figures, whether gazing into the distance or drifting into a daydream, captivate us with their graceful radiance and evocatively strong emotions. Mas finds inspiration in women in 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. Despite his fame, Felix Mas has remained a modest man. He enjoys working in his studio in Barcelona, where he can be found there laboriously creating his own colors using natural pigments. In the background classical music plays as he works his twelve-hour days.
