Masud

Masud is a Fine Artist, Illustrator, Digital Artist, self-taught Animator, and Digital Sculptor. As a very young child in Brooklyn, New York he had a special talent for drawing. He went on to formally develop his talent at the Art and Design High School in New York City. Masud continued his formal art training at Parsons School of Design in New York City, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1991. He earned his Master’s in Art Education from the City University of New York (CUNY) in 1999.

Masud’s fine art primarily consists of acrylic on canvases and mixed media on paper. His style is very vibrant as he uses complementary, primary colors in a simplistic way. “For most of my paintings, I use primary colors to express life’s simplicity…I pair complementary colors to display harmony…For harmony to exist there has to be a perfect balance…” Besides producing fine art paintings, Masud is fascinated with the idea of bringing his creations to life through digital animation.

Masud currently resides in Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area with his wife and two small children. Some of his work can be found at the Westside Market in Atlanta. Masud has been working as a full-time Art Instructor for over 25 years in NYC Public Schools, Georgia Public Schools, and private institutions. He is dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment and helping students to develop their artistic abilities through a variety of visual art media.
