Artist Statement Different forms of art and particularly calligraphy has been one of Arash’s passions since the age of 11. After dabbling in various painting classes and trying different writing styles for over 14 years, in 2008, he engaged seriously in learning both painting and different traditional calligraphy styles.
Merging painting and calligraphy, Arash has created and coined a new style of painting called Poem-Painting—a style in which the artist uses both linguistic and aesthetic powers of words to create a poetic visual art piece. He combines calligraphy, painting, and poetry in his pieces and crafts words, lines, textures, and colors to envision a mysterious, enchanting, and unique world that has Persian identity while being very contemporary and international.
Arash is an award winning artist and in the course of a few years, has become a visible and active artist in northern California. He has participated in over 15 exhibitions and has devised several art workshops and presentations including group exhibition at Triton Museum of Art, Bridging the Gap exhibition at California College of the Arts, and Invoking Peace exhibition at Euphrat Museum of Art. Among his awards are ACTA Grant for Traditional Art with ICCNC 2013 and Core77 International Award 2012.
