Per the artist, “My artistic inspiration, the very basis of form and color for my work, comes from my childhood memories of Persian rugs designed and weaned by my mother. As I watched her for hours creating gorgeous patterns, hues and textures, her fingers dancing across the loom, the designs and shapes of my current work took form. My creations flow from the same source of energy and creativity that inspired my mother.” Sabzi's painting style is influenced by the Modernist works of Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse, as well as by the poet Rumi. Majority of his works feature women in various moods and poses, implying internal conflict. From a private collection. Dimensions: 25.25”h x 21.25”w x 1”d (framed).
