His self-illustrated poetry collections include Fragments chaotiques, Le champ de l’hypostase, and Assomption d’une autre saison.
Tasso’s poetry collections include drawings and paintings in honor of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael, and other artists.
Grandly interested in antiquities, art objects, classical music, especially sacred baroque music, Tasso, who had started playing the piano at five, opened in 1987 “L’insolite”, an art gallery. He specialized in both Art Nouveau and Oriental art, and began drawing miniatures and calligraphy. Two years later, as the violent conflicts of the Lebanese civil war ravaged the country, he was forced to shut down gallery. He worked between 1992 and 2000 as a freelancer for numerous French and Arabic magazines and daily papers in Beirut, such as L’Orient Le Jour, and published in 1993 a youth poem collection featuring a preface written by the Lebanese poet Said Akl. In 1996, Tasso was promoted Chevalier de l’Ordre Patriarcal de la Sainte Croix de Jérusalem, an eminent Oriental Catholic distinction. In 1998, he participated in a collective exhibition for the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and as of following year, started teaching the postgraduate “Æsthetics” course at the Institut d’études scéniques, audiovisuelles et cinématographiques (IESAV – The Scenic, Audiovisual and Cinematographic Institute) of the Saint Joseph University in Beirut. Later on, he was asked to lecture in several departments of the Faculty of Humanities at the same university (intercultural competence, art history, fine arts, cultural communication. Since 1995, he participated in numerous painting exhibitions, and his art evolved from an abstract Arabic calligraphy to a Sufi style, all the way to a dense and monochromatic black vision.
His poetry, mystic at its beginnings (Les lampes d’écume, 1999), started out as expressionism (Fragments chaotiques, 2000; Retables pour des murs en papier, 2001; Sang des neiges et autres poèmes, 2002; Intailles, Te Deum pour un requiem du temps, 2004). Later it became denser, and developed a very pure and literary style which has made Tasso a Poet of the Presence and a much noticed figure of the French poetry (De neige et de pierres, Poèmes pour l’improbable, 2005; Assomption d’une autre saison, 2005; Paysages de flot précédé de Sommeil des Ancolies, 2009; Brisants comme dictame d’un monde trépassé, 2010).
