About The Artist
Guillermo Mason was born in 1965 in Tijuana, Baja California, in northern Mexico. From a very young age, he showed a fascination for abstract art and geometry, influenced by the colors and shapes he found in nature and music, elements that he would later capture in his works with a touch of humor and emotion.
His interest in technical drawing
and design led him to study AutoCAD and Engineering Manufacturing, which
allowed him to explore geometric precision and hone his attention to detail.
However, his true love for art was consolidated when he began studying artistic
drawing in 1976 at the Simón Bolívar Elementary School in Tijuana. This was
just the beginning of a long path of learning and artistic growth.
Between 2016 and 2024, Guillermo
completed his training at the Alison School in Mount Carmel, Loughrea, Ireland,
specializing in Graphic Design: Visual and Graphic, Application of Design
Principles, and essential tools of Adobe Photoshop CS6. In addition, he trained
in Advanced Digital Photography and studied the work of Great Artists. His
dedication led him to complete his final specialization as an Arts Manager,
boosting his career as a visual artist focused on abstract art.
Guillermo has perfected
innovative techniques such as Oil, Abstract Art with Air, Pouring Cells and
Fluid Acrylic, creating his works under the influence of music, especially
rock, which inspires him with its energy and rhythm. This connection with music
allows him to develop compositions full of strength and emotion, where he seeks
to make the viewer feel the colors and perceive the firmness of each detail in
his works. Each piece reflects a unique, carefully studied technique that
continually evolves, bringing new ideas to abstract art.
Throughout his career, Guillermo
has participated in more than twenty solo exhibitions in San Diego and Tijuana,
and for more than two years, he has been part of virtual international
exhibitions, helping emerging artists gain visibility and recognition. His role
as a cultural manager has been key in promoting both professional and emerging
artists.
This year, Guillermo has a
special project scheduled for December 14, 2024, when he will celebrate more
than two years of supporting international artists through his virtual gallery.
In addition, he has been awarded several recognitions for his cultural and
artistic management, including the "Gold Management" award at the
Encuentro de las Artes in Cartago, Costa Rica, for his commitment to promoting
and promoting art and culture worldwide. He has also received recognition from
Conteni2, Radio and TV for his outstanding work in the cultural field and his
collaboration in the dissemination of art.
Currently, Guillermo lives in
Chula Vista, California, and manages his virtual studio/gallery in Tijuana,
where he continues to promote art, organizing virtual international
exhibitions, and offering classes for those seeking to hone their artistic
talent.
