RASSOULI is known in the art community as an
artist who reflects mysticism and near-eastern spirituality
in his paintings and murals through the use of European painting
technology. What appears on canvas is a timeless perspective
that illuminates the divine creative light through the form
of feminine power and beauty.
Known as an artist, a visionary, a speaker,
and as a gifted teacher and guide in raising consciousness
and developing creativity, Rassouli has created a worldwide following
with his unique style and philosophy. What makes his art so unique
is the way he translates spiritual experience from his subconscious
onto canvas through meditation at sunrise. His vibrant hues, and
joyful color blends coupled with swirling circular brushwork create
a unique style of painting that he calls Fusionart, a style that Rassouli
has created and registered and is presently teaching to many artists
globally.
Born in Isfahan, Rassouli was recognized
as the Best Student Artist in Iran when he was fifteen and
was awarded a government grant to study painting in Europe. He
migrated to the United States in 1963, where he studied painting
and architecture at the University of New Mexico, and was honored
with the Leadership Award from the Institute of International
Education.
A conceptual vision of expanding light combined with his own creative
visualization of feminine beauty has evolved in Rassouli since
early childhood, and is expressed in his inspirational paintings,
reliefs, book illuminations and murals. He was raised in a home
decorated with murals and intricate floral designs. Inspired and encouraged
by his Sufi mystic uncle, Rassouli developed an early appreciation for
painting and poetry, and he spent endless hours taking lessons from
classical and impressionist artists and studying mysticism. He discovered
new ways to transform his subconscious images into forms that he could
express and share.
