Master miniaturist Mahmud Farshchian unveils new works in Tehran

TERHAN Simorgh and Environment, Man and Nature, two works by Iranian master miniaturist Mahmud Farshchian, were unveiled Saturday at the Farshchian Museum of Tehrans Sadabad Cultural Historical Complex.


Director of Cultural Heritage Tourism and Handicrafts Organization (CHTHO) Masud Soltanifar and CHTHO deputy director Bahman Namvar Motalq attended the ceremony, Persian media reported.

Simorgh proposed by grand Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli, is a symbol of the human being and shows that people are always after the truth, Farshcchian said at the ceremony.

He added that the idea of his second tableau Environment, Man and Nature was initiated last year by the head of Irans Department of Environment, Masumeh Ebtekar.

In one corner of the painting a monster is observed that has polluted everywhere, and on the other side there are angels who are cleaning up the environment, he explained.

I believe protecting the environment is quite simple and I truly ask the citizens to love their environment and help preserve it, Farshchian said.

Namvar Motalq also said that Farshchians painting would be very influential in environmental protection.

Our nature has been hurt and we need to improve it in Iran and around the world, said Mohammad Mojabi, a top official at the Department of Environment.
