Soheil Mokhtar puts all the painting's elements together in a suitable way, and a colorful balance in his works brings the audience with him.
His paintings have an ornamental approach emphasizing motifs, and he covers surfaces with separable folds of color. The bright and pure color options, the way of coloring, the definite border of the forms, and the fantasy and humorous effects of his characters are reminiscent of the works of pop artists. The seed of these qualities can also be recognized in his works' early stages, especially in coloring, etc. Although in the first period of his career, he used these color spots in a faded and overlapping manner, with a mood close to the works of impressionist painters, his figures in his early works were expressive and non-fantasy, and nature played a prominent role in his paintings and formed the setting of his narratives.
