Masri Hayssam'Stoic' by Masri - Black and White Abstract Portrait - Mixed Media Painting2023
2023
About the Item
"Stoic," is an enthralling piece by the distinguished Masri. The artist employed his bare hands, utilizing his thumbs and palms in place of a traditional paintbrush, to craft this unique piece. Held exclusively by The American Art Gallery, this 40" x 30" mixed media on canvas encapsulates the serene intensity of stoicism. Masri's palette knife and hands are the sole instruments that dance across the canvas, weaving black and white into a tapestry of visceral texture and movement.
The portrait that emerges from the chaos of drips and daubs is one of formidable silence, evoking the resilience and indomitable spirit contained within. The lack of color only amplifies the drama, allowing shadows and light to tell a story of inner strength unspoken. Through Masri's tactile methodology, the rawness of the medium becomes a mirror to the rawness of emotion, each layer a chapter of perseverance.
As a treasured asset of The American Art Gallery, "Stoic" captures the heart of Masri's artistic philosophy: to channel the purest form of human sentiment through the unadulterated touch of the artist. This work is not merely to be viewed but experienced, a visceral encounter with the stoic grace of humanity.
About the Artist:
Masri is a passionate Italian, US-based artist whose work has been exhibited in the USA, the UK, Germany, Lebanon, Italy, and Norway. His work is varied and known especially in Europe and in Major collections - Ellen Degeneres, Ringo Starr, Al Gore, and many more.
Harnessing an insatiable desire for artistic discovery, innovation, and perfection, he dives into experimentation with openness and enthusiasm. The works he produces, as a result, are bright, expansive, and bold.
Masri has developed a style that captures the Mideastern mood with A Lucien Freud brush touch. This style is completed with palette work as the artist often goes into a trance-like state when creating these powerful expressions of the human experience.
Artist statement:
"I live four seasons every day - it is a humongous world of perceptions, conceptions, and achievements; a world of renewable psychological input and output fraught with flowing emotions, endurance, and pain. "
The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal.
Exclusively represented by The American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
