Hidden realities

Now with more than 33 years ongoing work in the field of painting, I have come to this conclusion that all the working periods of an artist, in accordance with their entire ups and downs, carry within themselves the achievements that are the very guidance, leading the artist toward understanding the deeper than hidden and overt world realities.

I believe that art and its reflections are nothing but the outcomes of the thoughts of the artists, the very thoughts that in each and every moment are facing the evolution, rejection of the deductions in the past thinking and/or the repairment of the views and beliefs of the yesterday.

And I…

Up until yesterday I used to think that “today’s” artist must peruse “today’s” realities and match his views accordingly; “today” he ought to record the current realities and address and warn the society by way of exaggerating the incidents of the contemporary world.

But today…

It may be not that extortionate a request if I, utilizing the illustrations before me, desire to depict my approach to the reflection of the existing contemporary world realities; even though by the means of metaphoric language in this period and here, in this exhibition. I intended to say that no mistake has been made if we turn to a new artistic worldview through understanding and recording the realities of this world via artistic creativeness and admire those, who in the course of history, have researched –yesterday- today and tomorrow.

I want to express that “contemporary art” includes but is not limited to the reflections of the darkness and destruction; it is also an attempt toward the enlightment and teaching of the rightful recognition of the world, which is continuously floating, moving, destroying and creating above the thoughts of the learned and the wise.
