Las Máscaras IX gathers a constellation of rounded forms into a vertically arranged composition set against a warm gray ground. Irregular contours resemble fragments of color that have been cut, layered, and carefully assembled, while vivid blue, green, yellow, red, pink, orange, and brown create a shifting visual rhythm. Several forms partially conceal others, producing depth without relying on traditional perspective. This geometric abstract painting is defined by the tension between accumulation and balance, transforming color and shape into a dynamic visual structure that keeps the eye moving across the surface. The dense arrangement gives the work a tactile presence while allowing each individual form to retain its distinct chromatic character.
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.
