Artwork Description

 Iranian architect and painter Mansour Vakili recieved his Master of Architecture from the University of Tehran in 1972, his D.P.L.G. from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-arts, Paris, France in 1976, and his Master of Urban Design from the University of Paris VIII in 1982. He has held various solo exhibitions in Iran and France since 1998, with his most recent in 2008 at Homa Gallery and Baran Gallery in Tehran. He has also participated in collective exhibitions between Paris and Tehran, most notably at Galerie Nicolas Flamel in 2010, and his works have made various appearances on auction with Drouot’s. He presently lives and works in France.
  
 For the artist, painting is a means to enter unknown spaces, those which are empty and endless, albeit familiar. Through this inner journey, this dream, he is able to reconnect with memories. Of his work, Vakili has stated,“Extending beyond my own capabilities, I try to detach myself completely. My paintings are the imagined landscapes I visit throughout this journey. Memories are expressed in new colors and forms, in the deep strokes and in the sense of perspective. The whirling lines and dancing brushstrokes tell the viewer of the passing of time. I carry with me the weight of history, culture, childhood and selected experience of youth. Like a lull in the turmoil of everyday life, my paintings draw on mysticism, art, technique and self-consciousness; they are an interpretation of the poetical message to be found in each.”.
