High Resolution

Refugee, 2001
In this artwork, you can see a rabbit, escaping from an eagle. and an angel is protecting it from the eagle. Usually, in Persian Painting style, the elements are some symbols for same realities ,we can't feel them directly. Actually, the rabbit is a symbol for a servant of God that is trying to be protected by the commiseration of God ( angel symbol ) from the Satan's temptations ( eagle's forks ). The angel's clothings all; are painted bright that is symbol for purity and the rabbit is white coloured that is symbols for purity . The eagle's wings are dark like sins and guilts. All the space is dark, just a way to the angel is bright showing just the God's way is bright and safe.
This artwork has won the first prize of 5th Persian painting binnal in Tehran contemporary museum of art in 2001.
