Artist Statement:
Be happy and enjoy your life. Calligraphy painting is actually a type of painting where I use letters and words to create artwork. I inspired by the poem of Khayyam: And if the Wine you drink, the Lip you press, End in the Nothing all Things end in–Yes- Then fancy while Thou art, Thou art but what Thou shalt be–Nothing–Thou shalt not be less. In this painting, the bird is in flight, which can be a symbol of the passage of time and the shortness of life. This work emphasizes both deal with the theme of the transience of life and the importance of enjoying the present moment. The colors black and yellow in the painting are contrasting. This contrast can be a symbol of the contrasts of life, such as joy and sorrow and life and death. This bird can be a symbol of the creator, just like Homa, the bird of fortune. Homa is a mythical bird that symbolizes good luck and prosperity.
