Artist's Statement
When an artwork gets final, it just turns every minor thing in my life, into a symbol of beauty. Some times this happened when only the artwork turns on. I really glory of my relationship with my own art that shares me each sense of life. My aspiration about art is when I follow every pathetic line and space of the body of the work, and found the whole work plays the silent symphony that flows with emotional spirit to feed my soul desires at that time I know that that piece is turned out really well.
When I work with oil colors I feel the colors stimulating deep with my feelings and I just work with colors unconsciously expressing deeply my self. I don’t plan before I start, and don’t like to follow discipline logic in art. A birth of a new painting is when the pureness of first color released on a fresh white canvas in a very childish way; these colors gesticulate the motions of brushes on the new canvas and evoke the form of the work. The different sizes and shapes of brushes, and sometimes spoiled ones, give natural varying impacts in primitivism technique. In the development process I don’t really consider the detail form as much as to harmonize with the artwork motions. Through the development process, the art work emerges an unexpected pattern and emotional impressions, often through a human figuration, even if the work is in abstraction.
In 1980's, my artworks were slightly different as I used to be admired by the surrealism art that led me to a grievous fantasy vision in my drawings, but later, my inner vision has started to be changed gradually, especially after my first solo exhibition. Considering my oriental culture, has also gave me a lot, since this culture is very artistically integrated with different ancient cultures and arts throughout the history such as Egyptian, Indian, Persian, and Chinese arts, although the common form of art today, is the western contemporary art. scrutinizing the natural impression and motions of people around has made the human impressions spurted in my artwork.
