AWS President, Antonio Masi, will discuss how his approach to painting delves into evoking emotions and experimenting with mood. Masi will discuss the process that creates an individual style through the combination of brushwork, the symbiotic relationship with the surface, and the orchestration of colors and composition.

He says, “As one navigates the intricate interplay of elements, one crafts more than just paintings; one creates a dialogue between the artwork and the viewer.” “My primary concern, always, is to capture mood and those stirring, overpowering sensations reminiscent of my first glimpse on New York Harbor… In the end, my subjects are secondary to conveying what I feel in the moment.”
