A constant fact in this painter’s artistic career from his beginnings to the present, who dedicated himself professionally to painting, is his interest in studying and practicing the technique of the great classical masters; mainly Dutch artists of the 17th century and, especially, Vermeer, whom he exhibited at present (summer, 2024) two of his copies at the Vermeer Centrum Museum in Delft, hometown of this Dutch artist.
Although his painting is extremely meticulous and detailed, and therefore very slow to produce, he has held seventeen individual exhibitions and has participated in more than sixty group exhibitions. A career where solid technical knowledge and sensitivity are put on the same level so that light —his hallmark— bathes, or rather caresses, his paintings.
In short, his solid training, great experience and artistic criteria are reflected in the fruit of his work and dedication: the interest of contemporary collectors for his highly technical paintings, and also in his very special pictorial work, as described in the words of the great author Antonio Gala: “Any painting by Mascaró, for any sensitivity, evokes serenity and rest. It makes you want to sit in front of it just like a window, gazing through it carefully. With the same detail it was painted with. With the same serenity it was made of, and which is transmitted. And then, respect it. And then, love it. On very few occasions can such praise be said, without lying.»
For twelve years he has combined his professional dedication to painting with giving lectures on Art and Painting, especially on European Baroque painters.
