RASSOULI
is an award winning artist and author who is
known for his unique style of Fusionart. He migrated
to the United States from Iran as a young man and is
currently residing in Southern California.
Rassouli grew up studying under traditional Iranian
painting masters while searching volumes of artistic
works of varied traditions and styles. He roamed the
art museums, won awards for his paintings, and
traveled in classical Europe as a teenager prior to
going to the United States in 1963 to further
explore his artistic drive. There, he studied fine
arts and architecture at the University of New
Mexico and environmental psychology at the
University of Southern California.
Although he practiced
architecture for a time, painting ultimately
became his overpowering passion and his
profession. Through the years, Rassouli has
created hundreds of canvases, in his unique
style of Fusionart, which invite the viewer into
the union between the Eastern philosophy and the
Western technology.
The conceptual approach
of Fusionart has been developing in Rassouli
since early childhood, which is evident in the
expansive scope and variety of his art works.
Rassouli paints with rags, with his fingers, and
uses his favorite brushes when he feels moved to
enhance what is happening on the canvas. He
begins with a canvas primed with black paint and
brings the light of vision to it developing a
relationship with the appearing images as he
creates.
Within the past thirty
years, He has exhibited widely in the United
States, Europe and Asia and has created several
major murals. Rassouli's art has been
featured in numerous books and periodicals,
including several books that he has written and
are available at bookstores and on the internet.
He guides others through his writings, in
retreats, shares his approach to creativity
through public talks, in radio and television
interviews, in videos and films, and above all
through his paintings.
