"I was thinking about memories, about the meaning we give them. How do objects and memories become symbols of our past? Symbols that can build among the forgotten mysteries of our childhood. I wanted to make a painting with those objects, painting about the magic of a memory."

Mostafa Darehbaghi uses harmonic blends of geometric patterns combined with figurative subjects to create a unique abstract atmosphere in his work. His style maintains a visual complexity of poly-rhythmic symbolic elements that are entirely influenced by nature. His work is an inquiry into the nature of reality reminding us that life only stands still in our minds. His work shows that we only become our experience in the here and now. How we relate to ourselves, to others, to our memories of the past, and to our future, is contingent upon what is present within us in this very moment.
