Janneke. An expressionist portrait of his granddaughter. Painting in Mas.s style.

On his quest to integrate his new techniques into portraiture he chose his first grandchild called Janneke. In a vibrant new form he has portrayed her using colourful swirls to accentuate the expressions in her face. He says "Using various volumes of oil in the build up of the portrait it creates a dynamic and lively picture. Painting in this specific way it is as if I was dressing her up in beauty"

Portraiture new style. Mas.s saw this, at the time unbeknown to him, famous and characterful model and artist from the 20s and 30s in an art magazine. He has taken Lee Miller's beautiful features, photographed by her artist friend Man Ray, and translated that into this painting. "I love beauty and character. I have found both in this beautiful woman, exploring my unique style in this art stream."

It's a beautiful day on the beach. Shark!? What!! A new painting by Mas.s mirroring our deepest joys and fears.

Mas.s has orchestrated this summer composition.Using his techniques,styles and unique figures relaying his feel for organised chaos and casual precision.He says "I was really able to bring my humour in the figures and scene, it makes me smile and giggle when I look at this painting." It's absurdly beautiful and touchingly absurd,showing the versatility of this original Dutch painter.

"Lost?" The title of a spiritual painting depicting the world of Mas.s. A self portrait with a difference.

Portraiture is a new life stream for this originally Dutch artist. He says"I have been asked to include my various techniques in portraiture. The result is striking and I love doing it." Colourful, vibrant and life issues are his mottos. He would describe his work as "casual precision", "ordered chaos" and "Essentialism", a new age in expressionism.
