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.

Felix Mas
Spanish artist Felix Mas has a rare gift for capturing his vision of female beauty, a style many have referred to as ‘sensual elegance.” His women are luminous and fresh, his perspective a celebration of female beauty in its many cultures and idealizations. A fine balance and preoccupation with line, form and the achievement of fine color harmonies leads us through symbolism and fantasy into the realm of beauty in the female figure. It is a talent that makes his paintings appealing to even those who do not usually take to this style. 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 later North America. Travel is an obvious inspiration and influence on Mas’ work and his depictions of women. He is clearly influenced by Asian culture including a deep respect for Japanese woodblock prints, as well as the fashions of India, and the historical grace of Egypt, Rome and Greece. Each woman in his paintings is exquisitely dressed in rich fabrics that are elegantly draped and invariably placed in rich opulent settings surrounded by ornamentation and glossy accessories. Mas is a traditional painter and never one to shy away from hard work, including the fact that he creates his own pigments. His dedication to the perfection of each work is what makes what may seem like a repetitive theme so mesmerizing.

The colorful bouquets look natural but have a long history of months of meticulous and layered work. It is sometimes difficult to predict when Joran's work can withstand its own "test of criticism". In addition, the layered work with oil paint sometimes also ensures long drying times. Shortening this is undesirable. In 2014 the artist started experimenting and painting with oil paint, flowers and insects soon turned out to be his preference. Again, this was a source of inspiration. The artist about his work: ‘In the Rijksmuseum and Mauritshuis I found the still lifes of Jan Davidsz. de Heem, Jan van Huysum and Ambrosius Bosschaert...Category
