Masud's fine art primarily consists of acrylic on canvases and mixed media on paper. His style is very vibrant as he uses complimentary, 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.
