Specialist note

'Events and occurrences, which have their own logic, are the accidents which I reveal in my work and through them I discover a new layer of myself. Years ago, when I entered high school, I painted as a means to escape the mundane academic atmosphere of the educational system. I failed to understand the relevance of the subject being taught in my daily life. I opted to enter the art academy and that marked the beginning of my journey into the world of art in which I learned to discover myself.'
(Pooya Aryanpour)
