Gerard Mas

Gerard Mas was born in 1976 in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Girona, Spain. He studied sculpture and stone carving at the Llotja Art School in Barcelona from 1998 to 2001. He later completed specialized training in sculpture restoration and conservation at the Escola Superior de Conservació i Restauració de Béns Culturals de Catalunya in Barcelona, graduating in 1998.

Mas’s artistic practice is deeply influenced by his early career as a restorer. His works, characterized by a realistic and figurative language, appear to align with academic traditions but are infused with irony and visual poetry. Depending on the needs of each piece, he employs a wide range of techniques, including stone carving, wood carving, colored resin, ceramics, and bronze. Through these materials, he frequently revisits events and themes from art history, reinterpreting them with a contemporary perspective. In his unique universe, imagined Renaissance noblewomen, fictional classical sculptures, and mythologized depictions of domestic animals coexist harmoniously.
