Metaphysical arts and conceptual paintings by Rassouli ..
.. "a contemporary Iranian artist whose sensual artwork is influenced by romantic expressionism, [Persian] Miniature paintings, Sufi occult and mystic [Iranian] poetry of Rumi and Hafez."
- In wide Eternity's vast space,
Where no beginning was, wert Thou:
The rays of all-pervading grace
Beneath Thy veil flamed on Thy brow.
Then Love and Nature sprang to birth,
And Life and Beauty filled the earth.
Awake, my soul! pour forth thy praise,
To that great Being anthems raise---
That wondrous Architect who said,
"Be formed," and this great orb was made.
Since first I heard the blissful sound-- *
- O happy hour! when I shall rise
From earth's delusions to the skies,
Shall find my soul at rest, and greet
The traces of my loved one's feet:
Dancing with joy, whirled on with speed,
Like motes that gorgeous sunbeams feed,
Until I reach the fountain bright
Whence yonder sun derives his light. *
- ~ Hafez of Shiraz (1325-1389)
