What is Modern Art?” A question that puzzles many of us.
In the name of modern art, artists tried everything and it’s opposite; creating more questions than answers.
Can we find our answer in the digital world? Since digital sculpting unfolds a technical renaissance around us.
How about digital Painting?
In digital world higher quality picture means a larger digital file and a larger digital file means slow traffic. It’s obvious that speed, size, and quality cancel each other out, even in digital images.
What does all this have to do with Modern art?
Modern Art came out of Modernity, and Modernity came out of technological transformations, which stands on the balance of four pillars: production speed, quality, cost, and size.
Can we create the modern brush for modern painting? A brush that has the essence of Modernism? A painting process which produce maximum speed, size and quality, with minimal cost and labor? Something that cameras and computers have not yet achieved?
Yes, we can. You are looking at it.
The grotesque nose, mouth, or chin are not caricatures but exercises of my imagination capturing the whole spectrum of facial expressions, where the inner-world and the external world meet each other.

“"Whats missing is already there" ”
.After I applied the mirror effect, the result was beautiful but empty, without content. So I introduced four characters to this setting, to show the same symmetry that this beautiful architecture has, But at this time the symmetric interaction revealed in human emotions. Men at the right looking to the lady in black but she looks to the men at the bench, who is looking to the lady in the left and she looks...
Our Imagination
Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” We devote a great part of our lives to gaining knowledge, while simultaneously neglecting our imagination . We were never taught how to use our imagination, and the repetition and banality of modern life gradually deactivates our imagination. However, imagination is still the only thing in us that is infinite. Our life, energy, and knowledge are limited; therefore we need to unlock our limitless imagination and set it in motion.
How can we activate our imagination? Well, let’s imagine that everyone has a brand new car parked in their driveway but they don’t have the key. Although the cars can travel for thousands of miles, they can’t move an inch because there is no key. Not only do we all need a key, we need the right key that will activate our specific car. Either that or a bump key, a key that can open any lock.
This revolutionary painting method is the bump key to everyone’s imagination. Now all can discover the key of their imagination and become an accomplished artist. Everyone from age 4 to 104 can master this painting process in 20 minutes and paint a great artwork in 10 minutes, without physical and psychological discomfort. All the outsiders of the art community, can become insiders and enjoy the creative process. Painting with this method is not only pleasant, but also stimulates our imagination by creating images at the same synchronized speed with our imagination; We can become astronauts in our own head, constantly exploring new territories. The active imagination can transform all other facades of our lives, we can make the mundane more enjoyable if we apply our imagination to it.
Imagine you can be, do, and have whatever you want. What would that be like? Dose our physical existence gives us that kind of freedom? In a world where everything and everyone deteriorates, nothing is worse than letting our infinite imaginations go to waste. The best way to stimulate our imagination is to synchronize the painting process with our imagination.
