ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Arash e Kamangir" the story of a heroic archer from Iranian mythology. This painting is a piece from “Minimal Shahnameh” collection. The king of Turkestan attacked Iran. Both sides agreed to make piece. To determine the border of the two countries, an Iranian should shoot an arrow. The point where the arrow fell would be the border of Iran and Turan. People were worried. Where would the arrow land? Arash came to the battlefield and went to the flanks of mount Alborz. He put an arrow in the bow. He released the arrow and his soul. Unexpectedly, a long distance away, riders found the arrow near the Jeyhoun riverbank, on a walnut tree. This point was regarded as the border of Iran and Turan. The celebration of Tirganis is held, and Arash’s name will endure forever... A picec from “Minimal Shahnameh” Book.

Born in 1966 Tabriz, Iran . I’m teaching Persian literature and poetry. I like beautiful stories especially epics and enjoy the stories that are told so sweet. As a researcher who is interested in Persian ancients and legends and as a teacher who wants to make difficult long and old texts, short and easy to understand for his students, I happen to create Shahnameh projects in which I can teach ancient Persian literature in two forms: pictures and short stories. Each project i create include a book of Persian legend stories and a collection of Paintings related to the stories. I started to paint when decided to create the very first project called Minimal Shahnameh (the book and the paintings) with zero experience in painting. I painted 67 pieces all the same size and technique. It took me 2 years to finish the collection. Each painting related to a story. I display some of them here in Saatchiart. The book of “Minimal Shahnameh” which is Farsi/English edition contains all stories of the entire Shahnameh plus the images of the paintings. It is available on Amazon. I like the idea to link the paintings with the written content since it can help readers of any level review the short stories in less time while enjoying the vivid scenes of the stories and experiencing their epic, mythical atmosphere. This will continue in my next projects as well. At the moment I am busy with the second project which includes some very sweet stories about Rostam lineage and Aryans and the paintings related to them.
