About Rouzbeh Tahmassian

Rouzbeh Tahmassian is a visual artist with love for the unknown. The base of his work is photography. The photograph is extensively manipulated with many mixed media techniques. "I use sturdy wooden panels which are crafted by myself. The materials I use in my artwork are endless, such as acrylics, oil, pastel, watercolours, sanguis, beeswax, gold(24K), copper, Damar resin and epoxy resin". "I feel there is no limit in materials and techniques I can use. I'm intensely drawn to the unknown: an unknown effect, an unknown material and an unknown twist of work. It's what keeps me motivated to fabricate new work". Each work is unique and handcrafted the whole way. Photographs which are used in the mixed media artworks are limited to a maximum of 5. All work is signed and numbered on the back of the panel by the artist and ready to hang.
