"Between Two Worlds" Painting

Faez.R

Visual Artist

My professional painting journey began at the age of 13, when I achieved first place in a painting competition among 8 distinct schools in my hometown Gorgan, Iran.
Over time, my work has expanded towards research and experimentation in various medias and forms of contemporary art.

My artistic practice focuses on the relationship between material, memory, identity, and human experience.
Through texture, form, arrangement, and narrative, I seek to reveal hidden layers of natural experiences and emotional perception. My personal experiences and artistic perspective are an important part of my work.
In 1997, I invented the innovation called “Oil Painting on Straw Mat”.

Cultural and Artistic Value and Heritage Preservation:

This method honors and revitalizes the cultural significance of traditional handicrafts, preserving their artistic heritage while presenting them in a contemporary form.

Sustainability:

The use of natural, handmade materials reflects ecological values and aligns with the principles of sustainable contemporary art.

Innovation:

“The Voice of the Weaver” merges traditional techniques with local materials, creating a unique visual language within the global dialogue of contemporary art.

Space and Light:

The way light radiates from every side at night, quietly telling its own story, is beyond words. For me, art is not merely the creation of images, but the creation of a space for thought, emotion, and connection between the artwork and the viewer.

In my work, I try to connect contemporary expression with cultural roots, without making the meaning of the work too direct or obvious.

My work has been presented in international projects and exhibitions, and part of my professional path has been shaped by collaborations between art, research, and intercultural experiences.
