Las Máscaras V presents a vertical composition built from large oval forms that overlap and transform the pictorial space. Blue, green, yellow, pink, and orange appear in translucent layers, allowing underlying shapes to remain partially visible and creating a shifting perception of depth and color. Several areas contain darker internal strokes that introduce direction and contrast within the softer surfaces. The light background heightens the luminosity of the palette while keeping the composition open. This geometric abstract painting derives its visual strength from the balance between transparency, repetition, and chromatic tension, turning layered forms into a dynamic encounter between color, space, and perception.
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.
