رويا ها

گاهي اوقات به غايت نا اميد مي شوم و آن وقت از زندگي هيچ نمي خواهم
آن وقت است كه احساس مي كنم حال گروهي از مردم را مي فهمم
كساني كه ديگر زنده بودن را تاب نمي آورند
آنچه مرا به زنده بودن وا مي دارد اميد است
اميد ورويا
رويا ها موتور پيش ران من هستند
وقتي از اميد و رويا خالي مي شوم زندگي جز يك مساله ناخوشايند نيست برايم
و البته حضور همسرم يك كمك بسيار بزرگ است
زندگي با اميد بسيار زيباست
اميد اميد اميد
و رويا

The center of universe

This is a painting I done it during my Journey to one of the Cities of Iran, Isfahan. we went to the river side near one of them most famous bridges on the Zayande rood and it was a great view other side of the river I sat there with my daughter Bahar and I had very nice time there painting, while my daighter sat beside me......
The centerpoint of these paintings are those two men standing near each other...

You are the one...

It was late in the evening and I was lonely in the home and I was thinking to you and to my loneliness....
This was just the painting doing during those thoughts.
I really had great time thinking to you and make painting...
You are the one in the center of my thinking all the time and in my loneliness...
This is my first experience publishing the post using my iPad, and of course using the speech system of this great instrument. it was such a great experience talking to machine and he do all this stuff to publish the post...

day dreaming .... رویاهای روزانه بورس آبرنگ ایران

these days i'm under time pressure and there lots of works to do ... and I wish I had enough time to relax for drawing and painting . 
I think to watercolor prize and the watercolor scholarship for people like myself ... maybe one day there would be some prize by my fund and name ... Mojtaba Abtahi Prize ... 
the prize and the name is not so important, that's the idea that is interesting ... maybe one day i can have my supported art students ... 
i'm thinking to that day ... and this is day dreaming 
این روزها کار های بسیاری بر سرم می ریزد که توانم را می گیرد و من با خود می اندیشم چقدر خوب بود اگر می توانستم از هنر زندگی کنم و استراحت کنم و فکر و سفر و نقاشی 
می توانستم چند ماه با دختر کوچکم و همسرم در سفر باشیم و در کنار هم لذت ببریم 
با خود به رویایی که در سر داشته ام می اندیشم 
به جایزه آبرنگ ایران 
به بورس آبرنگ 
اینها افکاری است که مرا با خود می برد 
شاید زمانی مدرسه ای از افراد تحت حمایت مالی ام داشته باشم 
و بتوانم کسانی را از مشکلاتی که خود دارم برهانم 
با خود می اندیشم به بنیاد مجتبی ابطحی 
و جایزه سال مجتبی ابطحی 
اینها آن چیزی است که رویاهای من را می سازد 
اینها رویاهای روزانه و شبانه من است 
می نویسم و به آنها می اندیشم 
تا به واقعیت برسد 
شاید زمانی بهار کوچکم برای خود خانم کاملی شده باشد 
شاید نوشته های من را بخواند 
دوستت دارم و به دنیایی زیبا تر برای تو و انسان های دیگر می اندیشم دختر زیبای من

great trade ... مبادله ارزشمند

پنجشنبه طی مراسمی یکی از کارهایم را با یکی از آثار زیبای سرکار خانم مهندس ساناز حمزه ای مبادله کردم.

در حال حاضر از پنج هنرمند در مجموعه ام آثاری دارم 
همسرم 
هنرمند امریکایی اندی اوانسن 
هنرمند ژاپنی یوکو 
 استاد عزیزم جناب آقای مقدسی 
و سرکار خانم مهندس ساناز حمزه ای 




i believe that dreams can and will turn into reality if you think it regularly and believe it. 
on Thursday I traded one of my paintings with a painting by great fellow artist Ms Sanaz Hamzei. she is an architect and a great watercolorist. 
here are some pictures of this event. 
now I have paintings by five watercolor painters in my collection: 
My dear wife, Fahimeh

shaddow and light ... the other side of my soul

this is one of my paintings in coming exhibition of Shargh Watercolorists Group in Iran.
 when I check my thoughts and my styles one of the dominant parts is the light and shaddow 
....
I think that this is the essence of watercolor painting that it reveals the artists soul and inner thoughts .. 
and I like this aspect of this medium
in real life the light seeking and knowing the darkness is one of my continuous endeavors ... 
and of course my world is in pure light ... with dark shadows ...

the flowers and the Lady in red

this was a painting that I did it when my baby " Bahar " was sleeping in my arms .. 
and this was a vase of flowers ... 
i tried to capture the calmness of this composition and the brilliance of that rose in red ... 
it seems to me that it is like " the lady in Red" 
Dear Bahar, you are my lovely lady ... 
and I imagine the night that you wear your Red night dress as a bride . 
love 
Father

new event ... new born .... و تو متولد شدی

this post is not related to watercolor directly, but it had a great effects on me and the way I look at the world .
it is about a month that i step in a new world and I become father.
now I am the father of a girl, a beautiful girl. this is a great feeling and I suddenly find myself in Wonderland.
my daughters name is " Bahar" ( in persian it means Spring. the spring season. ) and i feel the spring breeze and the blossoms in her lovely face.
 the cutie in her fathers hug. and the painting of a bunch of flower . 
i do believe that you are more beautiful than the flowers. 
kiss. 
welcome home dear Bahar . 
love 
your father .

watercolor quote 038... کلمات آبرنگی

No re-creation, express your interpretation. 
Alvaro Castagnet . 

سعی در باز سازی عینی نکنید بلکه برداشت خود را ارایه دهید...
آلوارو کاستاگنت. 

تلاش در ارایه درک از فضا و حس آن تلاش من است و در این مسیر کاستاگنت همراه بسیار خوبی است 
اولین کتاب حرفه ای و جذاب آبرنگ که خواندم که مرا تا مدت ها مست خود کرده بود کتاب "نقاشی با شور و اشتیاق " اثر این استاد بزرگ بود 
شاید تمام تلاش های بعدی من بر اثر گرمای این کتاب ادامه یافته است 
هنوز هم این کتاب محل رجوع من است و از خواندن دوباره آن لذت می برم 
اما نکته ای که وجود دارد حرکت و رشد کاستاگنت در طی این حدود 10 سال از زمان آن کتاب بوده است ... 
آبرنگ مسیری است بی انتها .. 
مسیری لذت بخش ...
