ARTIST STATEMENT
Art for me is another language, and a way to express my feelings. I regularly view, analyze and absorb my surroundings, and when it triggers a certain feeling, I find myself back in my studio in front of the canvas.
​
Through my art, I aim to capture the emotions of a moment, preserving the observations of that day while inviting new feelings to emerge and inspire others.

BIOGRAPHY
Jonas Masreliez, a creative mind and mixed media, abstract and contemporary artist. My journey began in Sweden and Finland, raised by my Finnish mother and French/German father. I am proudly working to continue the long lineage of artists and designers from my fathers side.
​
I remember my dad inspired me to explore my creative side via art and I always enjoyed watching him draw and create amazing illustrations with just a graphite pen.
​
I have called South Florida my home since 1995. I graduated from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, majoring in Graphic Design and Multimedia. I have worked in the creative field for 20+ years, and more recently brought my old passion of painting back to the forefront.
​
I now blend the influences of my multi-cultural upbringing and heritage, with my love for art and design. While I also enjoy painting landscapes, nature, or other themed art, my passion is the unrestricted form of abstract art.

"My work is recognizable from vibrant, multi layered colors, rich textures and often subliminal elements."
