Rassouli
is the founder of Fusionart, who is known in the art world for
his stunning and insightful canvases. He was born in Iran to a family
of
mystics, and was influenced by the mystics of the east. He studied and
practiced painting and architecture in the west and is currently living
in
Southern California.
Rassouli
is an artist of life, one who lives
and expresses whatever he does from his heart. He describes himself as
an ogler
and a libertine, as one who sees beneath the surface, one who is free
to
express what he sees and feels and imagines! Whoever you thought he was
yesterday,
you can be sure he will bring something fresh and new to today, and he
will
surely come up with something fun for tomorrow.
He
speaks about creativity in person, in his
retreats, through talks to groups, on the radio, in videos, and in
films, and
nowhere does he do it more magically than through his paintings.
Rassouli
throws rules to the winds and dives into the moment and savors it, and
his
excitement for the process affects and stimulates everyone around him
to do the
same! He paints with rags, with his hands, 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 emerging image as he progresses.
So
who is Rassouli? He has been called a
delight, a troublemaker, a rascal, a rogue, a legend, a messenger, a
visionary,
and an artist, but the description that endears him to those who know
him is
that of true friend of the heart. To know him is to feel inspired, to
feel real
and alive, and to feel free to remember joy.
