Masoud Yasami's cloud paintings are characterized by their bold colors, abstract shapes, and surreal imagery. He often depicts clouds as swirling, dancing, and morphing into fantastical forms. His paintings can be seen as a celebration of the beauty and mystery of the natural world.

Fibonacci sequence. Within adjacent rectangles and squares are subjects that either are on the edge of falling, failing or being saved by weightless balanced classical forms. To explain my intentions in a recent painting, my use of free floating Levitating clouds versus heavy spheres and rock formation grounded by gravity is the perfect harmony of Balance and order versus chaos of dealing with forces of everyday life. Levitation (levitas "lightness") is a symbol by which one is suspended against ones own fears in a stable position.. Please click picture to see details

Yasami as an artist offers the viewer an inner topography. He has staying power. Much like a mirage in the desert, his visual images have a way of persisting and imprinting themselves on the viewer's consciousness. Reality does not matter. The image is the story.

This painting was on the cover of a book about Painting with Acrylic paints Author selected my image (Author: Nocholas Roukes) and what he wrote is exactly what I have tried for years to teach at colleges but no success, while reading it look at the sunset I just did.. if you have not experienced an event don't try to paint it and express it ...
