Painting
has
always
been
a
serious
challenge
for
me;
a
challenge
that
originates
from
my
vision
in
comparing
and
contrasting
the
heterogeneous
entities
of
the
world.
My
paintings
portray
the
repercussions
of
the
personal
analytic
contemplations
I
attempt
to
have
about
these
contradictions.
Script
is a
recurring
legacy
that
could
be
nostalgic
and/or
be
adopted
in
order
to
build
upon
tradition
to
create
a
novel
event;
a
strive
that
is
erected
on
the
age
old
artistic
pillars
so
that
it
might
lead
to
explorations
into
other
worlds.
Persian
script,
apart
from
its
orthographic
and
semantic
significations,
enables
the
artist
to
create
fresh
structural
compositions
and
shapes
such
as
calligraphy,
ill-writing,
scrambling
and
restructuring
which
could
contribute
to
unprecedented
constructions.
I
take
this
realm
as a
rebellious
point
of
departure
from
the
limitations
that
writing
has
imposed
on
me
for
years.
Hence,
by
applying
script
onto
my
compositions,
I
have
tried
to
transcend
beyond
the
frontiers
of
my
dreams
and
visual
experiences
towards
an
encounter
with
the
Nature,
the
human
being,
history
and
the
painting
itself.
These
images
are
replete
with
sentimental
actions
in
such
a
way
that
explaining
them
would
be
in
vain
and
they
represent
nothing
more
than
what
has
been
depicted.
Conscious
and
introspective
references
that
take
form
in
symmetrical
shapes
approach
abstraction
and
find
musical
rhythms,
where
they
merge
with
the
scripts
bereft
of
lexical
meanings
and
facilitate
the
appearance
of
objectivity
in a
frame
that
has
the
least
distance
from
the
audience.
In
fact,
the
last
layer
of
the
work
is
where
my
mental
struggles
with
reality
begin
and
human
beings
with
all
their
primordial
actions
ranging
from
war
and
enmity
to
companionship
and
amity
step
in.
Such
anthropomorphic
representations
have
been
borrowed
from
among
the
Iranian
paintings
as
part
of
my
visual
memory
as
well
as
from
my
own
life
and
imagination.
Delving
into
time
and
space,
I
bid,
in
this
collection,
to
express
what
cannot
be
spoken
or
written,
yet
shall
be
sought
for
amongst
the
dreams,
imaginations,
and
in a
corner
of
life.
