| Your Personal Biography |
Mojavari was born 1968 in Lahidjan (Iran). From 1989 to 1994 he studied free pictorial art at Teheran University. During this time he learned to appreciate the media film and started producing and directing short films. According to him, the creation of a movie scene is a further step of development in the composition of a picture and therefore an important part of his work as an artist. Mojavari’s film “Ghalb” (“The heart”) was nominated in 1992 at the French International Film Festival of Cannes. Since 1983, he exhibits at cultural institutions and galleries in Iran, Italy, Germany, France and USA. Painting and film are still equally important to him.
At the Shanghai Art Fair 2004 he presents a selection of his paintings. The pictures contain marked drawings as well as expressive colours. His work can be divided into three groups. A major part of his artworks follows the “light in form”-painting. This style is distinguished from the others by contours which surround rectangular areas of different sizes.The artist plays with light and shadow by filling the areas with bright and dark colours. Moreover, he creates new figures by arranging the light coloured areas. In his “ornamental” painting, which gives evidence of the artist’s cultural origin, Mojavari combines geometric and decorative oriental elements and reinvents the traditional patterns by abstraction. His “free” painting abandons clear outlines in favour of lavishly used colours. By painting this way he expresses and conserves his emotions more spontaneously. Not all of Mojavari’s pictures are strictly dedicated to one of this three styles – the artist combines them playfully with each other. Since two years the painter combines his three styles and begins to realise them in his large formats works (i.e. 210 x 250 cm). This large formats will be presented internationally for the first time at the Shanghai Art Fair 2004 and in the next year at the Art Fair in Brussels, Europe.
