Ali Akbar Sadeghi (Tehran, 1937)
In his evocative paintings, Sadeghi draws on the rich traditions of Persian art, but adds to them a surreal edge. They involve dizzying spatial manipulations and startling combinations of real and fantastical objects, producing kaleidoscopes of colour and form. A master storyteller, Sadeghi's tales incorporate various sources that range from historical Persian iconography of swords, horses, gardens and warriors, to the compositions of archetypal Iranian miniatures and portraits. Sadeghi rearranges subjects of his interest in a variety of media, including painting, graphic design, illustration and animation. From this perspective, he is considered a master of Iran’s visual arts of the last five decades. Besides his paintings, Sadeghi has made seven films and won many awards at International Film & Animation Festivals. Sadeghi has been recognized as an outstanding cultural figure and contributor to Iranian art and culture by the Ministry of Culture in Iran.
The painting as being saturated with the miniatures and evocative motives evokes in my mind the strong resemblance to the cultures of other ancient civilizations! Thanks for sharing a beautiful art piece! We here essay-writer.club admire the pic!
