This book is a marriage of stimulating artistry: the writings of Anthony Morrone, melded seamlessly with the ethereal Fusionart of internationally acclaimed artist Freydoon Rassouli.
Literature and painting are two forms of art with their own unique expression of the artist’s inner feelings and experience. Literature uses words and meanings, and painting uses colors and forms. Each has its own impact on people’s hearts and minds. Painters and writers often turn to one another for inspiration, and the dialogue is mutually beneficial to their art. Many writers have used paintings for their inspiration, while painters and illustrators have frequently been inspired by literature. When the two are united, they become like two rivers that merge into a larger and more majestic flow.
Literature has been a source of inspiration for me throughout my artistic life. The focus of my paintings often centers on literary works. I enjoy the brilliant colors of nature, for they provide me with rich metaphors to develop my creative imagination in the paintings.
Since literature is not separated from my painting, my collaboration with authors who come from the heart, like Anthony Morrone, is a natural development. What attracts me the most is the sensuality of Anthony’s writings and the power of his imagery. They evoke my imagination and invite me to look for the hidden concepts that are so closely tied to his emotions.
What you experience through this book is meant to provide you a holistic, ongoing moment that will touch on the levels, from our hearts to your heart. What is so potent in the book are the images and words that give new hope in our search for the beloved. The thoughts, emotions, and feelings expressed in the words and in the art, are here for you to savor and enjoy, and to share with those you love, especially yourself.
As you turn the pages, you will come to realize that there are waves of thought, energy, color, form, and emotion coming from everything in the universe toward us and we are offering the same. Thus, the reality is a vast interplay in which everything is affected by everything in the most literal and loving sense.
May this book lead you to explore your own heart and the depth of your soul, as you let love and light be the magic that opens the unknown. Savor this book and let it lead you into rapture.
