MY ARTWORKS AND OBJECTS OF ART
by: Behzad Farahani
I have held numerous exhibitions showcasing my artworks, art objects, architectural elements, and furniture across the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. These exhibitions have provided me with the opportunity to present my creative vision to diverse audiences and to engage with the international art and design community. Through these events, my work has been featured in a variety of cultural contexts, reflecting both regional influences and universal themes in art and architecture.
Throughout my artistic journey, my primary goal has always been to cultivate a sense of uniqueness in my work.
The challenge of creating art that stands apart from others is both daunting and exhilarating. From the very beginning, I have strived to avoid copying styles, techniques, or concepts from other artists. Instead, I have focused on developing my own voice and perspective, believing that true creativity flourishes when one follows their own path.
In a world filled with endless influences and trends, maintaining individuality in art is a conscious choice. It requires self-reflection and the courage to diverge from the familiar. I have come to understand that being unique does not mean ignoring the history or richness of art; rather, it means using those influences as steppingstones to discover new ways of expression. My commitment to originality motivates me to experiment with materials, techniques, and concepts that reflect my personal experiences and imagination.
My unwavering goal in art remains to be unique, to avoid imitation, and to honor my individuality. By staying true to myself and resisting the urge to copy, I continue to discover new horizons in my creative practice. Ultimately, I believe that the most impactful art is a genuine reflection of the artist's own spirit and perspective.
Art has always been a journey—one marked by curiosity, experimentation, and a desire to understand the infinite possibilities of creation. I have journeyed through a world of materials and techniques, starting with the simplest tools and gradually embracing more complex forms of expression. I experimented all, pencil, brush, watercolor, oil, stained glass, wood, stone, plaster, steel, molding, welding, carving and fabrication.
The world of fabrication has also captured my interest, leading me to work with steel through molding, welding, carving, and various fabrication techniques. This extensive exploration has enabled me to understand the nuances of each medium, appreciate their individual characteristics, and broaden my creative horizons. By embracing every material and method, I continue to grow as an artist, driven by curiosity and a passion for discovery.
The tactile nature of plaster and clay introduced me to the joys of sculpting. My hands learned to coax shape from formlessness, and I discovered how space and mass could evoke emotion and meaning. Wood brought the challenge of strength and grain, and steel demanded both precision and imagination. Each material required respect, patience, and a willingness to adapt.
I am proud to share that I have created over three thousand paintings and more than two hundred statues, which are now spread all over the world. Many of my works have traveled thousands of miles, finding new homes in different countries and enriching diverse communities with art. This journey reflects not only my passion and dedication to the arts, but also the universal language and impact of creativity.
I have created over three thousand paintings and over two hundred statues spread all over the world, some traveled thousands of miles to another country. In addition to my personal projects and exhibitions, I have also been commissioned for hundreds of artworks by my high-profile and corporate clients.
Looking back on my artistic experiments—from the humble pencil to the solid weight of steel—I am reminded that the journey of an artist never truly ends. Every medium, whether two- or three-dimensional, holds a unique lesson. Every experiment, even those that fail, pushes creativity further. This broad exploration has not only expanded my technical skills but has deepened my understanding of the expressive power of art.
During my exhibitions, I had the profound privilege of meeting people whose reactions to my art moved me deeply. Some visitors were so touched by the paintings that, in a gesture of pure emotion and admiration, they kissed my hands. This experience was unlike any other I had encountered in my artistic journey. It left me feeling truly humbled, a little embarrassed by such devotion, and undeniably honored. The intensity of their appreciation brought tears to my eyes.
To all those lovely individuals:
I certainly remember every single occasion, the exhibition, and the country. However, I must admit that I no longer remember all of your names. Please contact me and send me your full name and a picture of my (your) artwork. I have a wonderful surprise for each of you!
Thank you.
These interactions have stayed with me, shaping my perspective on the impact of art and the importance of generosity. I am forever grateful for those moments of connection, which remind me that the true value of art lies not only in its creation, but in the deep bonds it can inspire and the joy it brings to others.
Overcome by gratitude and a sense of responsibility to honor their feelings, I decided to give these admirers the very paintings that had inspired them to such affection. It felt only right that the works which brought them such joy and emotion should belong to them. The act of gifting the paintings was my way of reciprocating the love and humility they had shown me.
Throughout my life, I have found that experimentation in art—ranging from the humble beginnings of a conte pencil sketch on a simple piece of paper to intricate compositions involving the most sophisticated blend of materials—has profoundly impacted every facet of my creative and professional endeavors. Each artistic experiment became not only a study in technique but also a lesson in problem-solving and innovation.
This artistic exploration laid the foundation for numerous design and build projects I undertook, from the grandeur of envisioning and constructing mansions to the complex challenges of urban planning for satellite cities and the efficient layout of factories. The principles I learned in the studio—balance, contrast, texture, unity, and adaptability—translated seamlessly into the world of architecture and design. Approaching a blank canvas is not unlike approaching a new building site; both require vision, structure, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.
Even in the culinary world, my art experiments became invaluable. Each dish I designed and prepared in my restaurants was, in essence, a work of art, informed by the same curiosity and commitment to excellence.
