Description from the seller
Mixed media artwork, straight from the artist's studio. Ready to hang!
Mixed and handcrafted technique (with base from own photographic work) on wood. The photo is lightly accented with watercolors/acrylic paint. The photo accompanying this artwork is printed and used up to 25 times. Each edition may show small differences due to the unique highlighting with paint, making it original as a work of art. The edition and year of production are listed on the CoA and on the back of the artwork.
Materials used include: wood, photo, acrylic paint, watercolor, and varnish (glossy).
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 imagery make his work highly 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 sparks the viewer's imagination. His art is constantly in motion and does not limit itself to figurative; abstract, portraits, and sculptures are also part of 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. In advance the frames are laid out, but the creative process only begins after the first hand is laid on. In this I let my feelings guide me. 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 that 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.
