Sabzi, the painter

SABZI - "My artistic inspiration, the very
basis of form and color for my work, comes
from my childhood memories of Persian rugs
designed and weaved by my mother. As I
watched her for hours creating gorgeous
patterns, hues and textures, her fingers
dancing across the loom, the designs and
shapes of my current work took form. My
creations flow from the same source of
energy and creativity that inspired my
mother." ÷ Sabzi

Sabzi's subjects are almost always women,
beautiful, graceful, taciturn and lugubrious,
they reflect solitude. His women are madonnas, modern goddesses, and
martyred saints whose elongated forms suggest instability and internal
conflict. Their anonymous faces transform them into religious icons that
transcend and defy the demands of reality. Yet, other paintings reflect
warmth, charm, gayety, happiness, and his undisputed love and
admiration for women.

Sabzi's paintings resonate both Eastern and Western philosophies. His rich
Persian heritage provides him with ancient images and sentimental Persian
themes and memories of innocence. The Western source of influences
comes from one of the most creative moments of modernism of Cezanne
and Matisse.
