Chaque ombre à sa lumière II

Alexandre Masino (b. 1972, Montreal) is a Canadian painter celebrated for his expertise in encaustic painting, a medium that blends pigments with hot wax to create richly textured and luminous surfaces. A graduate of Concordia University with a BFA in Studio Art, Masino has exhibited widely across Canada, the United States, and Europe, earning acclaim for his ability to merge technical mastery with profound introspection.

Masino’s work navigates the intersection of observed reality, memory, and imagination, often featuring contemplative themes such as landscapes, still lifes, and nudes. His use of encaustic allows for a tactile depth and luminosity that invite viewers into a meditative experience, emphasizing the physicality of the medium while evoking emotional resonance. Featured in numerous public and private collections internationally, Masino’s paintings offer a timeless exploration of materiality and meaning, reflecting his dedication to the craft and philosophy of painting.
