Afsoon’s Statement

When I start to paint, I try to reach to the roots of nature and get a closer look at details. The details we miss in our modern life. We’re surrounded by all sorts of distractions and try to find fun and peace in our new applications but what we certainly miss here is our ancient and archaic bound with nature.

In my paintings I seek that primitive connection with Mother Nature and transmit this unique feeling with my viewers.

For medium I’ve chosen digital pen but always try to use old technics of painting and drawing. Sometimes I draw the sketches of work on paper and by taking a photo I transfer them to the computer and continue the work in there.
