With a harmonious yet bold palette of cerulean blues, earthy greens, and touches of ochre, the canvas comes alive with the vitality of the subject. Masri's application of mixed media imparts a texture that adds depth and movement, suggesting the fluidity of our innermost selves. The face, portrayed in a series of fragmented brushstrokes, invites a dialogue about identity and the core of our being that is felt rather than seen. This work is a visual representation of the soul's complex essence.

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.
