Primordial Encounter
Painting has always been a serious challenge for me. It is a challenge that arises from my vision of comparing and contrasting the heterogeneous entities of the world. My paintings are a reflection of the personal, analytical contemplations I have about these contradictions. The script is a recurring legacy that I often use to create novel events that build upon tradition, leading to explorations into other worlds.
Persian script, in addition to its orthographic and semantic significance, allows the artist to create fresh, structural compositions and shapes by disarranging, and restructuring that can contribute to unprecedented compositions. I have tried to transcend the limitations of writing that have constrained me for years. My aim is to use the script to move beyond the boundaries of my dreams and visual experiences, toward an encounter with nature, humanity, history, and the art of painting.
These images are replete with sentimental actions, and explaining them would be in vain. They represent nothing more than what has been depicted. Conscious and introspective references that take the form of symmetrical shapes approach abstraction and find musical rhythms, merging with scripts bereft of lexical meanings to facilitate the appearance of objectivity in a frame that has the least distance from the audience.
The last layer of my work is where my mental struggles with reality begin. Human beings with all their primordial actions ranging from war and enmity to companionship and amity step in. Anthropomorphic representations, borrowed from Iranian paintings and my own life and imagination, serve as part of my visual memory. Through this collection, I seek to express what cannot be spoken or written, yet is sought after among dreams, imagination, and a corner of life.
