To me, love is like Hafez's poetry, interpreted according to
one’s feelings. I tend to use love as an element at the time of making calligraphy and calligraphy-paintings. Such concept did not fit in a two-dimension
space, I thought; it needed another aspect to stand out. I tend to narrate the
relationship between lovers or create an image of the beloved, as each of us
does; so “in every moment becomes the ideal idol”*
My “love”s are tangible images of the beloved and viewers can find themselves in the guise of a lover.
Apart from referring to Eastern and Western mysticism and Philosophy, I
would like to simply remind the audience to love and fall in love because
everything will be more beautiful with love; “beware do not do but love”*
