Milt Masur tailors a unique approach to create each of his enchanting art works, using enamel, oil, or mixed media. Travel has left an indelible mark upon Masur as he whisks his audience away to far-flung settings of beaches, mountain vistas, bubbling rivers, endless desert landscapes, and serene woodlands. His style is a hybrid of figurativism and impressions from the scene, with an occasional bow to abstraction; in this manner he explores both the visual and spiritual aspects of a locale. Masur infuses his painting with energy, using a bold natural palette rife with azure skies paired with the brilliant hues of plant life. His work with enamels displays an artist fascinated by the qualities of texture. Masur captures the sheen of moving water and gently swirling reeds by building the surface with layer after layer of color. He says "I find that sculptural effects impart powerful delineation and identity with the subject." The effect is mesmerizing, pulling our eyes around the picture plane and into his beautiful world.
Masur lives and works on Long Island, New York.
