Sabzi

Born in Ahwaz, Iran, Sabzi started painting at the age of twelve; encouraged in his early progression as an artist by his parents and inspiring teachers. His paintings resonate both Eastern and Western philosophies. His rich Persian heritage provides him with ancient images, sentimental Persian themes and memories of innocence. He draws from the Western influence of modernism found in the works of Klee, Cezanne, Matisse and Bonnard. Sabzi's subjects are almost always women – beautiful, graceful, taciturn and melancholy; they reflect love, mystery and solitude. His women are Madonnas, modern goddesses and martyred saints whose elongated forms suggest instability and internal conflict. Their anonymous faces transform them into religious icons that transcend and defy the demands of reality. Yet, other paintings reflect warmth, charm, gayety, happiness, and his undisputed love and admiration for women.

“When asked how I became a painter, I think about the warmth of family gatherings, where so many layers of art fused together to shape my life’s desire and purpose.”
McGuire Fine Arts is extremely proud to present this globally celebrated artist, featuring original paintings, fine art limited edition prints, and books.
