The French Iranian artist Sassan Behnam-Bakhtiar presents his new series, Oneness Wholeness, part of a seven year search of meditation and energy balancing. His work includes acrylic, oil, pigments and various papers superimposed together, creating a dynamic and lively work whose connections to the natural surroundings are present in both formal and symbolic elements. As the artist states, “We are one with nature and any living being in this world and by connecting to all these magnificent beings we as humans become whole with a support system like no other. There is nothing more satisfying for a human being than feeling complete, supported and loved by the universe and to be able to transfer it to other people and living things creating better communities for a better future.”
Bakhtiar will be exhibiting this Oneness Wholeness series at Saatchi Gallery, London in May 2018.
As the artist states:
“There is so much missing even though all is present for us to thrive and evolve as human beings. I think that the conscious development of the mind and spirit are the next steps in evolution that will take us towards being who we are supposed to be. Seeing and understanding who we truly are and what our true needs are enables us to connect to our eternal self and transcend to that evolved state of being with a correct spiritual mind-set and state of being that I believe everyone is looking for today, consciously or unconsciously. There is a need in every human being for a new movement that consists of transformation, growth, and connection to those elements that are vital to every living being. By focusing on our connection to the omnipresent energy, by connecting ourselves with this universal language, by understanding that we are not alone and that there is a universal movement constantly at work, any human being will be able to tap into a state of being where nothing is truly impossible thus inducing to the next stage of evolution.”
