In his artwork Kassim has a search for
freedom, trying to explain the deepest feelings of love, discover
the wonders and explore facts. Kassim’s talent gives him a special
place among the newest artists because he has a perfect ability
to deal with colors in sensitivity and spontaneity. He is also aware
of the light and form that reflects his spiritual love when his
eyes meet the scene from the first look. His drawings represent
the world of horses; this world is always shiny and hopeful. From
each painting, we can get an inspiration to touch the hidden desires
to reach in our mind the beautiful shape of this animal.
Love enhances his art and makes it long lasting. The details of
his subject appear as if they are united and drawn by magic. The
artist is very fond of the world of horses, world of magic legends
and fantastic meanings.
From the first look we can imagine movements, and lines reflect
the
immortal cry bursting from the eyes of the horse and its warm breath.
His really wondrous brush makes the world begin from the blue bead
and never end. The painter flies high and deep into a strange world,
the world of magic, romance and childhood’s dreaming to discover
more and more about this amazing creature; the horse.
He really helps us to go deep through the cruelty of this life and
soul
to discover the hidden wondrous. Kassim’s paintings are always
various and alive because he is really reflecting his feelings through
them. He shows the facts, love and self-burning. He also describes
the purity and the truth of nature. He is capable of controlling
his
colors and illustrating the brightness and sadness in the soulful
eyes
of the animal. This is Kassim art, an endless melody arising from
the
bottom of his paintings. Kassim brought to horses a kind of passionate
accuracy. The character of this particular animal holding many
meanings that has always been through out the history of mankind,
since Adam and Eve.
Representing faith, strength, and beauty that always has been
looked for. Yet he is still at this very moment using them as his
closest friends in this journey of life. All his artwork representing
horses sharply silhouetted in an elegant freeze, arranged in such
a way as to provide continual interest across the picture.
Kassim gives energy across the entire canvas creating life to
what is essentially and this is part of his talent.
