He prefers watercolor even thought it is a thin medium, it organically allows expression of the most delicate subjects. But he discovered that watercolor can also be used in a thick manner, and it therefore can express the heaviest subjects imaginable. To see his work and read more about him go: www.antoniomasi.com

儘管水彩作為媒材可能略顯單薄,他仍偏愛水彩,因水彩能生動地描繪最細膩的題材。他也發現水彩可轉走厚實的風格,也因此可用以表達所能想像得到最厚重之題材。如欲瀏覽藝術家之作品與相關文章,可上:www.antoniomasi.com
