Making art and relaxing at the unique Casa de los Artistas, words do not do justice to the wonderful adventure that awaits each participant. Robert Masla is an internationally exhibited artist whose work is in numerous discerning private and corporate collections. He has an extensive exhibition history extending over 30 years of solo and group shows. Masla works in a variety of styles and media in the expression of what he calls Spiritrealism. Painting in oils, alkyd, acrylic and watercolor, he is best known for his powerful and bold work, where he extracts from the “apparent, mundane visions” that surround us and are often taken for granted, the innate spirituality of the local. Through the use of color, light and various applications of paint, his work expresses a heightened sense of the transcendental, revealing, as one art critic stated, ...”the energy of the life force, the light that is internal, or spiritual, as well as visual.” Always exploring creativity in search of truth and beauty he examines the perennial questions that confront our human condition. In recent years Masla has combined traditional painting techniques with the use of digital images and manipulation to create his very unique Digital Collage Paintings. An exhibition spanning several years of this creative journey will be at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, July through October, 2009 Masla's teaching experience is extensive, having taught drawing, painting (all media), 2 and 3D design, printmaking, art history, art education as well as lecturing on art as healing/therapy, art making as a spiritual practice and conducting workshops in accessing creativity. He has worked with a variety of age groups and environments from pre -k through college, as well as private workshops and classes. Masla has also published articles, a catalogue and authored the book, Windows to the Spiritual World - Spiritrealism and the Art of Pushkar. He has also been a products demonstrator and tester for various artists materials manufacturers. He was the Artist in Residence for the city of Springfield, MA, where he was the creator and artistic director of the A4E program (art for everyone), which had received 3 consecutive grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council for bringing art into the inner city schools that had no previous art curriculum. Masla was recently (March 09), awarded the title of "Teaching Partner" by the Massachusetts Cultural Council for his excellence and dedication to arts education. Masla, along with his wife, Monica Levine, created Casa De Los Artistas as a retreat for their family and to conduct workshops for fostering and nurturing creativity, self-discovery and the passion for life. www.MaslaFineArt.com Read more about this workshop , click here read Roberts bio above at "Celebrating Creativity..."
