  • APOCLYPSE

    Apoclypse by Rassouli, oil on canvas,  30" x 40"

    This painting speaks to me of Spiritual transformation. Changing realities. The ending of old structure… becoming new . Swirling energies flow, dance and transform…. all. Beautiful! Magnificent!

    Rassouli says, "Creation is the product of synchro-nizing our energy with the universe. Once we experience the whole and recognize it, we become aware that we are nothing but the Divine Creative Force."

    rassouli Rassouli, born in Isfahan, Iran was inspired by his mystical uncle. As a result he developed an early appreciation for painting and mystical poetry. He studied classical and impressionistic art as well as mysticism. In 1963 he immigrated to the United States where he continued his education in art and architecture.

  • Joy Riders

    JoyRiders-Rassouli

    Joy Riders by Rassouli oil on canvas,  36" x 48"

    A beautiful painting of Soul’s amazing journey back to Source. I see Soul spiraling through inner-space. Passing through all the dimensions back to God-head. Experiencing all Creation along the way. Tasting, seeing, loving, living, flying and being a Holy spark of God. Wonderful!

    Rassouli says, "I believe we are multi-dimensional beings who exist simultaneously beyond time and space in infinite dimensions.  Various dimensions of existence are reflected in my paintings as different cycles in a flowing spiral that represents our soul.
