Masri Hayssam (Lebanese, born 1965) "Florence, Sunrise" 2006 Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars Signed by the artist in the bottom left corner of the painting. Florence, Sunrise is a richly textured oil painting that captures the quiet intensity of early morning light settling over the Tuscan landscape. Broad, expressive brushstrokes and layered oil paint convey movement and atmosphere rather than strict detail, allowing color and texture to carry the emotional weight of the scene. Warm yellows and reds glow against deep greens, suggesting the land awakening as the sun rises over Florence. Masri has long maintained a deep personal and artistic relationship with Italy, returning repeatedly to its landscapes for inspiration. His approach blends post-impressionist sensitivity to light with expressionist energy, prioritizing feeling, rhythm, and painterly surface over photographic realism. This work reflects that balance, where the landscape becomes both a real place and an emotional memory shaped by time, light, and experience. 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. As a result, his works are bright, expansive, and bold. Masri has developed a style that captures the Middle Eastern mood with a Lucien Freud...

Masri Hayssam (Lebanese, Italian born 1965) "White Dunes" 2012 Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars Signed by the artist in the bottom left corner of the painting. “White Dunes” is an expressive landscape piece that captures the sensation of light, movement, and open terrain rather than a fixed place. Broad, confident brushstrokes sweep across the surface, layering soft whites with deep greens, muted reds, and cool blues. The composition feels windswept and expansive, as if the landscape is shifting beneath changing light and atmosphere. This work reflects Masri’s enduring affection for Italy, particularly the landscapes surrounding Florence, where he often found inspiration in the quiet balance between nature and emotion.

Masri Hayssam (Lebanese, Italian, born 1965) "To, Livorno" 2002 Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars The artist signed the bottom left corner of the painting. “To, Livorno” is a richly textured landscape by Masri that captures the sensation of moving through the Italian coast rather than describing it literally. Sweeping passages of green, ochre, and deep blue are built with confident, physical brushwork, creating a sense of terrain, wind, and shifting light that feels both immediate and memory-driven. The composition suggests hills and coastal pathways dissolving into the atmosphere, allowing color and gesture to carry the emotional weight of place. Masri has long drawn inspiration from Italy, particularly the Tuscan and coastal regions, where he returns repeatedly to paint and absorb the rhythm of the landscape. In this work, that relationship is felt through the balance of structure and spontaneity, where observation gives way to intuition. Painted in oil, To, Livorno reflects Masri’s mature approach to landscape painting, one rooted in experience, movement, and a deep affection for the Italian countryside.
