| Biography | |
PARVIZ PAYGHAMY - Parviz Payghamy's paintings depict abstracted landscapes weaving together and creating a simulated motion. The rich tapestry of patterns curve and bend through the picture plane. The landscapes are poetic, which is appropriate as Parviz was dubbed "the poet painter" by his friends, professors, and colleagues at the Tehran University where he studied. His fascination with poetry provides his paintings with the fleeting beauty of life and the melodic quality of color.
At eight years old, Parviz Payghamy discovered his talent and love for painting and by the age of sixteen started working professionally as a painter. His early realization of his life's passion could have been inspired by other artists in his family. Parviz says that both his older brother and his grandfather were artistic. Crediting Paul Klee as one of the key painters to have inspired him and Fedrico Garcia Lorca as one of his favorite poets, Parviz explains that art helps him to express the way that he looks at and thinks about the world and about his life. Parviz says about his work, "Painting is a visualization of life and sadness, happiness, and all emotions are translated by means of lines, shape, color, and take actual form. A picture is made and that is how the artist communicates with his inner self and with the viewer. The expression of the subject is what is important not the actual subject itself. For it is the expression that is worthy of thought and reflection. Whether it is an apple or a bottle, a face or a figure, I ask the viewer to view my art within that context. It is the singer, not the song."
Parviz Payghamy was born in Tehran in 1961 and studied fine arts, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree at the Tehran University. His work has been shown in Iran, Europe, Canada, and the United States. He lives and works currently in Los Angeles, California. |

| Style Impressionism |
|
| An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise. |
