About
My Paintings:
I use calligraphy formations and words in my painting works. I think
by using calligraphy formations I can better express my sensations
in paintings. In my most works using Persian Calligraphy (Nastaliqh
and Shekaste) and when I painting I do not know what really happen
to work. Most works created in my painting time and this is my sensations
which form my painting works. While painting I surrendered by thought
and senses.

The
First Day of Creation
The
First Day Of Creation - Acrylic on canvas - 2005 - 60 x 60 cm -
Artist:Esmaaeil Rashvand
This works created
immediate and sensually. Dark space and azure ground induct viewer
to vacuum of space, the space which is so far from history and earth
then calligraphy formations come fast and warp as if it perform
the first day of creation. God is alone in this work and there is
no man while the existence is created.
Of course this is my viewpoint of work and you can have your own
viewpoints.
