The image provided appears to be an abstract expressionist painting in the distinctive pseudo-calligraphic style of Iranian-French artist Nasser Assar (1928–2011). His work is known for merging influences of Chinese landscape painting and Zen philosophy with Western abstract movements.
The painting in your image features bold, black, ink-like brushstrokes over a lighter, possibly gold or tan, background. Assar's work often uses limited, harmonious color palettes, focusing on the spontaneous "calligraphic movement of the brush" to create a minimalist yet dynamic composition.
His paintings are found in numerous private collections and have been sold at major auction houses, with realized prices for his work ranging widely depending on the size and date of the piece. The style is consistent with his work from the 1960s, a period when he was heavily influenced by Far Eastern art and philosophy. This piece looks to be signed “Nasser 2004” but not exactly sure
