Masri Hayssam (Lebanese, born 1965) "Paesaggio Con Alberi" 2002 Oil paint on wood panel Signed by the artist on the bottom right corner and on the back of the painting. “Paesaggio Con Alberi” is a powerful landscape created during a mature phase of the artist’s practice. Rather than offering a literal depiction of nature, the work is constructed through dense planes of color and assertive, palette-knife brushwork that give the surface a sculptural presence. Deep greens, olive tones, and saturated yellows dominate the composition, layered in thick, directional strokes that suggest foliage, rolling land, and shifting light. The horizon is implied rather than defined, allowing the viewer to experience the landscape as a physical and emotional terrain rather than a fixed viewpoint. Masri’s handling of oil paint is unapologetically tactile, with ridges and strata of pigment that record each movement of the hand. This painting reflects Masri’s long-standing interest in landscape as a lived experience. Having spent several formative years in Italy, he absorbed the rhythm of rural environments and the changing qualities of Mediterranean light, translating them into a language that balances abstraction with memory. In "Paesaggio Con Alberi," trees are not described botanically but felt through mass, weight, and color. 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.

Masri has developed a style that captures the Middle Eastern mood with a Lucien Freud...

Masri Hayssam (Lebanese, Italian, born 1965) "Veduta Verso Sera" 1998 Oil paint on wood panel Signed by the artist on the bottom left corner and on the back of the painting. “Veduta Verso Sera” is a richly textured landscape, completed in 1998 during a period when the artist was deeply invested in translating lived experience into painterly structure. The title, which evokes an evening view, aligns with the work’s tonal depth and shifting sense of light rather than a fixed geographic location. The composition unfolds through vigorous, layered brushwork, with sweeping passages of green and deep blue suggesting rolling terrain as daylight recedes. Masri’s palette is punctuated by sharp accents of yellow and red, which animate the surface and introduce moments of tension within the otherwise expansive landscape. These gestures pull the viewer forward, creating a sense of movement and immediacy, as though the scene is still unfolding.
