Rouzbeh Tahmassian, established visual artist from Rotterdam. His work has been sold and exhibited worldwide for more than 15 years. The unique combination of techniques and materials and expressive images make his work very beloved.
With a strong presence and success on the leading online platforms and galleries, demand for his work has grown enormously in recent years. His work is mysterious and stimulates the viewer's imagination. His art is continuously in motion and is not limited to figurative, but also abstract, portraiture and sculptures are part of his oeuvre.
As the artist himself describes: “I use many different materials such as wood, paint, (bees)wax, sanguis, gold and silver, cotton and several types of resin. In advance the frames are outlined, but the creative process only begins after the first hand is laid on it. Here I let myself be guided by my feeling. There are then no limits to what I can do. I am always looking for a new effect, a new image, in search of the unknown. I feel there is always more to discover.”
Seller's Story
My work is created amidst emotions. I follow my feelings about how the process is progressing and what materials the artwork needs. Throughout this, the science and precision within me are constantly stirred. In my profession as a hospital pharmacist, it requires precision and accuracy. In recent years, I have increasingly fused my work as a pharmacist and a visual artist. I use chemical compounds and create my own perfectly orchestrated combination of Damar resin and beeswax, for example. To influence the viscosity of my paint and wax, I use chemicals like sorbitol and glycerol, and I incorporate burnt pages from pharmaceutical books into my artworks. I am intensely drawn to the unknown: an unknown effect, an unknown material, and an unknown twist of work. It is what motivates me to create new work in this epic battle between the flow of feelings and the science of pharmacy.
Rouzbeh Tahmassian is an established multi-disciplinary artist with international exposure. His pieces combine photographs manipulated with various mixed-media techniques on beautiful pieces of wood. Each work is unique and can involve a range of materials including acrylics, oils, pastel, watercolors, beeswax, sanguis, copper, wood, blood, and more. His pieces are personal and expressive with a hint of nostalgia.
