Massiel Grullón aka MAS
Boston-based Dominican artist, Massiel Grullon, was raised in an environment brimming with creativity. Raised by her late mother, Gladys Grullon, an artist/dancer, her Afro-Latin dance studio that surrounded the family home fostered Massiel’s artistic roots running deep. As an alumna of Boston Arts Academy and Artist For Humanity, Massiel's artistic journey began at a young age. Her active involvement in the arts and collaborative murals within the Boston art community further shaped her artistic identity.
In 2014, Massiel completed her bachelor's degree in painting & graphic design at Montserrat College of Art. Since then, she has established herself as an independent working artist, engaging in freelance work, design/fine arts, and mural projects. Her artwork encapsulates a sense of nostalgia, harmony, and interactivity, spanning across various genres, including portraits, abstract, graphic design, and murals.
Drawing inspiration from retro aesthetics, Massiel's work explores a wide range of mediums, including oil, acrylic, interior/exterior paint, and digital platforms. Her fascination with mid-century and space-age architecture, as well as interior furniture design, finds expression in her art, creating a distinct style that reflects these influences.
Through her artistic endeavors, Massiel Grullon continues to make a significant impact in the Boston art community, leaving a lasting impression with her captivating and evocative creations.
