Arches of Paradise

This digital collage is printed on Aluminum tiles that’s ready to hang.
Various sizes and print on paper are also available. (sizes and prices are below)
All prints are limited edition. I can also print on paper.

Inspired by and from “Timeless Themes of the Persian Perspective” series. Producing work that celebrates and showcases the distinctive art and imagery of Iran from the past and present. Using digital techniques I am interested in a new narrative that tells anecdotal stories through inspirations from Persian art and imagery.

Printed on Aluminum

6×6”: $85
12×12”: $250
16×16”: $280

the 30 bird project II

The 30 Bird Project

Inspired by Sufi mysticism and Persian mythology

🕊 THE BACKSTORY 🕊

Simurgh is a mythical bird in Persian literature. “Si” means “thirty” and “Murgh” means “bird” in Farsi. Hence Simurgh means “thirty birds”.

Twelfth-century Persian Sufi poet Attar of Nishapur composed a mystical poem called the Conference of the birds.

A metaphor for God the story is about the birds of the world searching for their king the legendary “Simurgh”.

The birds face a difficult journey. On the way many die of heat thirst or illness while some become prey to other animals.

Finally only Thirty Birds survive and find the Simurgh. But in the process the birds learn that they themselves are the Simurgh (30 birds)!

Ultimately they understand the Sufi lesson that the majesty of life is us like a reflection in a mirror. We are what we seek. 🌈
