Masri Hayssam

"Nel Bosco" - Italian Abstract Landscape of a Dark Forest - Green and Yellow Oil

1999

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. 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) "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.
