Mahdi Almasi

Mahdi Almasi, poet and painter,
was born in west of Iran and grew up in the ancient city of Hamedan, surrounded by beautiful gardens and mountains. Almasi has always been artistically inclined, even from an early age that he gravitated toward art and beauty and involved in almost every aspect of creative art – Persian calligraphy, design, photography, sculpture – before eventually discovering and landing on Painting.
Now, after years of continuous artistic work in painting and Persian calligraphy, he has reached a specific style in painting. In this style, the elegance of Oriental Art has been blended with the Modern Contemporary Art. He has experienced different periods in painting, and the capacities, symbols, rhythm, song and movement of Persian calligraphy have been used as part of his modern and abstract works.
Nature has a subjective and visionary representation in his artworks, and reality and imagination have been integrated on some part of his paintings. Universe has a poetic and lyrical reflection; stones, trees, flowers and unknown landscapes have a symbolic manifestation in his artworks. In this perspective, the nature is interpreted from the eyes of man after passing through the filter of his mind and emotions.
