Las Máscaras IV develops an open composition in which large rounded forms are distributed and layered across a white ground. Green and pink dominate the surface, accompanied by areas of blue and translucent layers that shift the intensity of color at each intersection. Within several forms, darker vertical and diagonal strokes introduce a gestural dimension that contrasts with the regularity of the surrounding contours. The arrangement creates a visual rhythm between denser clusters and areas of open space. This geometric abstract painting derives its character from the interplay of transparency, repetition, color, and movement, allowing the composition to remain fluid while maintaining a carefully balanced structure.
This series draws inspiration from Hatillo’s Fiesta de los Santos Inocentes, translating the festival’s vibrant movement and collective energy into a refined abstract vocabulary. Through repeated organic forms, layered translucent color, and rhythmic patterns of ovals, dots, and lines, Amador evokes the bells, textiles, and dynamic motion of the masqueraders without depicting them literally. The palette-ranging from vivid chromatic bursts to softened whites-recalls the iconic costumes of the celebration. Rooted in geometric abstraction yet shaped by lived cultural experience, Las Máscaras- situates local tradition within a contemporary, Caribbean-centered approach to painting.
