Statement
At a time when the antiquity of authentic art had faded among modern art today; we came together and considered it our mission to introduce the authentic artists of our city of Isfahan to our generations. Through a passage through history, we reached Zhi, which is the old name of Isfahan, and the passage of Zhi refers to a part of the history of art in this land. The passage that we entered with love, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the culture and art of our country and its impact on the enjoyable path of art, we intended to leave a memorial work of artists who left an influential step in half the world, so that perhaps we could have fulfilled our mission correctly. Recording the faces of the artists and combining it with shapes and forms inspired by their works ultimately led to the creation of graphic works and is the smallest souvenir for loved ones who immersed themselves in art for years. We chose the execution technique of hand printing due to its semantic affinity with the artists and their works of art; because it is an authentic and ancient method among execution techniques. We are always grateful to God for His infinite grace and grateful for the existence of our beloved teacher, who sincerely walked with us on this path and guided the young generation.
