This artwork, part of the "Isfahan Under Destruction" collection, combines painting and calligraphy in a powerful depiction. The acrylic technique on a textured mud surface adds a natural and historical touch to the piece. This 1x1 meter canvas symbolizes both the grandeur and the gradual decay of Isfahan's historical architecture.
The dominant earthy and blue tones create a contrast that reflects the duality of beauty and erosion. These colors not only highlight the magnificence of Isfahan's historical monuments but also hint at their ongoing deterioration. The cracks in the mud texture amplify the sense of aging and decay, narrating the damages inflicted on this cultural heritage over time.
The calligraphy, masterfully created by Mr. Mohammadreza Shafiei, adds another layer of meaning to the work. The words and letters, like echoes through time, deepen the artwork's narrative and emphasize the connection between traditional and contemporary arts. This piece is not just a reflection of Isfahan's beauty but also a warning for the preservation of these unparalleled cultural treasures.
