Hamidreza Andarz

Hamid Reza Andarz

Nostalgia in Hamidreza Andarz’s Paintings, not only has its roots in past but it is a reminder of the regretful present or a glance to the future that will be lost. The poetic instinct of Artists is a factor for recording the moments as visual poetry.

“Reality transforms into the poem the moment that a person looks at it from a poetic perspective. For me Art is a second alternative for the moment that in reality is transient or even doesn’t exist “.

Because of the dreamlike features in Andarz’s paintings, object distances from their realistic imagery, and the essence of the object gets replaced by its physical form.

The other feature of these paintings is their disorientation to any time, location, and nationality. This eternity and universality in Andarz’s paintings are a reminder of Shahid Saless’ films, Parvaneh Etemadi’s drawings, and Yadollah Royaee’s poems.
