Working primarily with acrylic paint and other mixed media materials, Masa’s experiments with abstraction transmits a dynamic sense of energy, encourages viewers to create organic emotional responses, and perhaps allows audiences to gain a greater reverence towards artists who don’t necessarily worship at the altar of more formal or classical artistic movements such as Renaissance art or figurative art. His arresting compositions are articulate in expressing their intangible context underneath all the applied layers and textures; waiting to be unearthed by avid art aficionados as they engage in lively discourse or contemplate in monastic silence while attempting to analyse the finished work of art presented before them.
