Description from the seller

Original and very unique artwork, straight from the artist's studio! Renowned artist with national and international sales and exhibitions.

Mixed and artisanal technique (based on own photographic work) on sustainable wood. The photo is affixed to the wood and accentuated with acrylic paint. Subsequently damar resin and light yellow beeswax are burned onto it with a unique and authentically developed technique. This makes the artwork very rich in texture of mostly vertical lines (due to the resin/beeswax burning process).

Materials used include: wood, photo, putty, acrylic paint, damar resin, light yellow beeswax and varnish (glossy).

Display conditions: never outdoors, in direct sunlight or damp spaces.

The top layer of the artwork consists of a special varnish that protects it from dust. The piece is signed on the back by the artist. It also comes with a certificate of authenticity. The artwork is carefully and professionally packed and insured for shipment. With the Track & Trace code you can track the package to your doorstep.

When purchasing two or more works in the same auction, you pay shipping only once.

Rouzbeh Tahmassian, established visual artist from Rotterdam. His work has been sold and exhibited worldwide for over 15 years. The unique combination of techniques and materials and expressive images make his work very sought after.

With a strong presence and success on 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 continually in motion and is not limited to figurative, but also includes abstract, portraiture, and sculpture within his oeuvre.

As the artist himself describes: “I use many different materials such as wood, paint, (bee)wax, sanguis, gold and silver, cotton and several types of resin. The frames are laid out in advance, but the creative process only begins once the first hands touch it. In this, I allow myself to be guided by my feelings. 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.
