Attention Please!! A colourful painting questioning our ability and duty to really listen.

Mas.s continues on his quest to break superficial relationships in his newest oil painting called " Attention please!!".  "Get real!" he says. In his special style he lets the viewer focus on our right to be heared. " We have to take every person serious. Old, young, poor, rich, strong, weak, healthy etc.etc.. We have to take time for eachother. We all want quality time, we al need quality time. It is a duty, a right and answers one of our deepest needs." He says "Just really listen".

He has pictured this in his powerfully and colourfully. Simply drawing our attention to to two persons in a room. One energetically trying to engage with the person opposite and the person oppsite, allthough looking the other person straight into the face, being absent. His thoughts are elsewhere, his eyes are elsewhere, his attention is not there. Mas.s says " How often have we been in this situation of not getting attention, of not being heard, of not being seen. It is a humiliating, degenerating  and a very painful experience. We know that the person(s) you are engaging with are just not there. There is no love."

He calls for an attitude of care with everyone, anytime, anywhere. He says "It is a duty and a right to stop and give attention to someone if that is needed. Maybe there is no direct and immediate gain for the person thats absent but in engaging you engage in life and receive accordingly, always!" 

Not engaging with eachother causes problems, both on a personal level as well as in society at large. People become objects. He says "In my experiences I have found that a huge number of people have a very low self esteem, of being worthless. They can be very rich in the eyes of the world and still very very lonely." He is asking for simple attention for eachother.

Isolation! An artistic painting touching upon the current affairs of care (homes), personal health, and relationships.

Mas.S has again depicted a hot topic in today's fast moving Western society in his own unique way. There is little or no time for oneself or ones neighbour. He states that "isolation is the cause of many, many deaths" and challenges the general ideas of "mind over body", "number one" stating that the root can be found, starting with oneself and not outside. "Isolation is just a status. Care!"

Hello my friend!! A painting depicting our tendency to look at somebody in a materialistic way, losing sight of reality. Touching upon the bankingscandal and financial crisis.

Artist Mas.s is again touching upon a hot topic in society.He says "The economic crisis, the banking scandals the public lying are all rooted in greed and envy.It happens because there is no moral obligation to tell the truth any more, starting within oneself.Honesty and courage are the pillars underneath someone's life and society at large.It is also the most difficult task, for ever challenged."

Slide to Freedom!? An expressionist painting mirroring the ladder of "success" in contemporary society. Or is it a slide?

In one of his more complicated paintings Mas.s has depicted a topic challenging today's preconceived ideas of success. "Many are trying to get on "the ladder", mainly to achieve egocentric success. But where is this going?" He asks. "Up or down? What is the personal cost? In fear of failing or falling? What happens with the "victims" of this drive? He has painted a slide and the ladder upside down

"The last supper". A spiritual painting depicting sharing, self giving, remembrance, betrayal, hope, life and death Mas.s style

I believe that in contemporary life this famous scene is still valid.People are being sold out. By governments,the financial system,marketing companies.Wisdom,care and hope are being sacrificed for the sake of progress and management through rigid science and regulations. Elementary we need to give ourselves to each other. We need to care, to engage with one another. Not just to eat but to share.

"The Wait". An impressionist painting mirroring the most important moment in everybody's life. Birth.

Mas.s has depicted this moment in his unique style,focussing on essentials in a colourful,impressionist way.He says"Becoming a father 23 years ago and a grandfather 3 months ago has changed me.The very moment of birth is the most special moment in a woman's life.She will never forget.A man often forgets once he is caught up in the world(of testosterone and materialism).This painting is a reminder.
