Saber Soleimani

The silent look

The art works you see in this exhibition are the continuations of the previous collection under the title of “The Stone Faces”, on which I have worked on in the last two or three years.

The collection ahead is the result of my vision and self-conscious thinking and a reflection of my conscious mind, influenced by the complicated daily human interactions, with which we are often involved and connected in the world of our minds one way or another.

My works involve portraits and figurative effigies of a man, with whom for years I have been engaged during looking and searching of my visual and mental space; a kind of sensual and spiritual look in the reflection of my human relationships with my surrounding environment, with a focus on the Eastern identity, and, commonly said, it is an exploration in the illustration of being mesmerized, the faint of humanity and emotional relations, visible in the people around us, attempting to appear different and justified; people, who have forgotten about their identity and are seeking a new and attractive appearance.

My style and technique, given that for a long time, I have been working figuratively and by the combination of materials, is a novel integration of a personalized manner and unwanted tendency in the classic style and method, which had a special attention towards portraiture. However, I have attempted for today’s approaches, texture elements, porous surfaces being created and sensual colors in my works to be a tool in order for a better reflection of the spiritual, sensual and emotional aspects of my thoughts.

My works are the reflection of the look, of my emotions and contemplations in a kind of representation of the face of humanity, of today’s people sinking in their deep thoughts and soaking in their inner being, unable to express or preferring the bitter silence; people who, behind their mute faces and numb looks, have influenced the spirits and lives of each other; and, this very influence has shaped in me unconsciously and intuitively.
