Under the Burden (of a Nation)

Every once in a while I receive e-mails from people who happen to via google stumble upon a painting of mine, painted and posted our years ago. The painting is called “Under the burden (of a nation)” and is my homage to late Dr. Mossadegh. It’s acrylics painted on canvas, however the ambition was to achieve the chalk-on-tinted paper sketch effect. Much like a vintage photo, a fading moment caught in the memory of history. It took exactly 10 years in the making, from the day the idea was born and till it got processed and painted. Thus this piece belongs to my private collection and I do not intend to sell it, but I’m flattered and thank you for your interest.
