kerman Grand Mosque

i like the turquoise color of the facade in Iranian mosques . 

that's one of the aspects that you can see some of the best samples of it during Safavid Era like Sheikh lotfullah mosque in Isfahan. 

here you can see my painting of Kerman grand mosque. 

من عاشق کاشی های فیروزه ای محراب های مسجد هستم که بعضی از بهترین نمونه های آن مربوط به دوره تیموری و دوره صفوی است. 

اینجا نقاشی من از سردر و جلو خان مسجد جامع کرمان را میبینید. 

Zavareh mosque

zavareh Grand Mosque .... ورود به مسجد جامع زواره

one of the things i like in painting is contrast of dark and light and cool and warm .
all these contrasts are the key factors in Iranian cities in deserts.
i like the architecture of these cities, mosques, tall walls and cool shadows in the alleys, Qanats, in these places you can feel the essence of water and coolness of it ...
you like to let your bare foot stay calm in going water ...

Zavareh is a city based in the center of Iran, in deserts and here you can find one of the mosques dates back to Saljuk-era.
for this painting i choose this mosque and i try to replicate the essence of what an entrance means for this mosque, which sharp contrast of sun beams and cool shadow in the entrance.
you can find more about this city and mosque from wikipedia.

No time to work , no time to think

Dont remember the last time I've posted here on my blog, but these days and nights were full of anxiety and other bad feelings. Not knowing that what is the right step or wrong one... Anyway most of the times when i feel like this, I think and say "I'm here, and to be is BETTER than NOT TO BE. " .

I'm alive and being sad or anxious is a sign to that.

Hope to work more and more and feel better and better.
