The works in brief
A keen look at the contents of his works shows three specific periods of mental and artistic process in him.
1- Years of romance (1971-78). The works of this period are fram the school years and surrealistic works colored by flash paints that reflect his dreams and nightmares in those days. His attraction to the lines and longing to draw baby, keeps him working for endless hours.
2- Ayears of large screens (1978-84). This period coincides with early years of the revolution in Iran. Being influened by social emotions, his works are presented on large screens with historic and social messages addressed to the general public.
3- Years of enlighrenment (1984-onward). After the secend period, he began his endless search and effort to experience all materials and technics. The contents of the works became still life, mythology,and Iranian historic and artistic heritage. His stuggle to experience more, led him to bring up and enhance the Shiraz School and Manichean painting in his latest works.In these years he experienced the functional arts to bring the modern painting into the people’s homes.His works with ceramics,forged steel,felt rugs and “gabbeh” are explicit samples.
