Persian Calligraphy Masterpieces: recreated in modern/classic style by Vahid Esmaeelzadeh
As a humble academic, Esmaeelzadeh professes that there is nothing to read into his work, claiming to only want to create beautiful compositions of forms and colors. At the same time he tries not to limit himself on the meanings of the elements and texts that he uses, but rather allows them to make their own statement, in an historical Persian and yet contemporary fashion. His modesty is overshadowed by his unique pieces, very much in the style of Siah-mashgh, which uses repeated Persian Calligraphy elements to create beautifully open abstract artwork and eye-catching sculptures, with alluring and enduring negative spaces, for the viewer to interpret and enjoy.
Esmaeelzadeh began painting in his abstract style in 2015, while simultaneously studying for his PhD in computer Science and teaching Persian calligraphy.
In 2016 his abstract painting named "Contiguous" was sold on Saatchi Art.
In 2021, he founded Zolalart LLC to promote his artworks. He has held a number of successful exhibitions including in California.
In addition to creating his art, he works as a senior software engineer for Google.
