Masri Hayssam

Italian Lebanese Artist born in Tripoli-Lebanon. I moved to Italy in 1990. Most of my childhood and young age was experienced during a bloody civil war for fifteen years. My works can be divided into different periods and different series of works. ..
I am always on the move discovering something artistically new and impressive; something significant with an eye-opening impact on the human psyche; something that does not let monotony and rote repetition take hold of my soul and the flow of my thoughts.

This insatiable and agonizing feeling of unexpressed great potential inside of me is not fulfilled by the versatility in my work. I often feel that it needs to explode and express itself in different domains.

It is easy for one to be haughty, vainglorious and pretentious, but to be humble needs deep understanding to the universal truth in the conscience of the universe. I like to see the faces of people wearing no masks: I do not wear one

In Lebanon he studied architectural design,and he finished his studies in 1986 and then he studied privately calligraphy.
