About Joan Mas

Joan Mas was born in the city of Barcelona in 1934. When he was in his late twenties, he moved to Paris, France. There, he studied painting at a very famous art school. This school was called the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA). He learned a lot from his teacher, Roger Chastel, from 1961 to 1968.

Since his studies, Joan Mas has shown his artwork in many places. Most of his exhibitions have been in Europe. You can often find his paintings displayed in galleries in Barcelona and Paris.

His Art Style

Joan Mas's paintings are part of the Post-Impressionism art movement. This style came after Impressionism. It often uses bright colors and bold brushstrokes. His art also shows hints of other styles. These include cubism and abstract art. He also uses ideas from what is called "new figurative" art.

His work is special because it doesn't just follow the usual rules for landscape painting. Instead, Joan Mas uses his own unique way of painting. This makes his art very personal and easy to recognize.
