Rassouli Bio

Freydoon Rassouli is an artist who has come to the attention of the international art world in recent years. What makes his art so unique is the way he translates spiritual experience from his subconscious onto canvas through meditation. With vibrant hues, Rassouli produces joyful color blends and circular brushwork that create a timeless perspective. These unique features that distinguish Rassouli's painting technique, which he defines as "Fusionart," is a style created and registered by him.

Fusionart's main theme is cosmic unity. The painting style is derived from mysticism, near-eastern spirituality, and a foundation in European painting technology. Rassouli represents this concept through illumination of the Divine Creative Light coupled with its manifestation reflected on his canvases in the form of Feminine Beauty.

Isfahan-born Rassouli's worldwide exhibits include numerous solo and collaborative shows as well as international art expositions. Selective paintings appear in prestigious books such as Jung, journey of transformation and language of souls, and on many magazine and book covers.

Mural of Angel of Unity, a painting that spans 55-feet tall by 100-feet wide, and the mural of Creation, which is 68-feet wide and 14 feet tall, are two of Rassouli's latest creations. Angel of Unity watches passersby at the corner of Washington Blvd. and the pacific coast in the city of Venice, and the mural of Creation spans along three walls in downtown Los Angeles. These latest murals of Rassouli have now become two of Southern California landmarks viewed daily by thousands of residents and visitors.

Rassouli's concept of the Creative Light coupled with the Divine Beauty has evolved in him since early childhood, and is present in his paintings, reliefs and sculptures, book illuminations and murals. He was raised in a historical home decorated with murals and intricate floral designs. Inspired and encouraged by his mystic uncle, Rassouli developed an early appreciation for art and mystical poetry, and spent endless hours painting learning from classical and impressionist artists, and studying mysticism. Soon he discovered new ways to transform his subconscious images into forms he could share with others.

Recognized as the Best Student Artist in Iran at 15, Rassouli 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.

Although he began his professional career as an architect, creating three-dimensional structures to satisfy his artistic drive, Rassouli's passion for painting persevered. Through time, he has created hundreds of artworks that have received global recognition for his unique Fusionart style.
