| Biography: | FARHAD NABIPOUR "AMIR" In 1990, Amir, a well-established local artist, left Iran to find freedom of expression and to continue his professional career as an artist in New Zealand.
"I could not have chosen a better place to be" he says.
In 1992, he began a study by a Stott's Correspondent Collage in NZ, gaining a diploma in Graphic Design & Commercial Art.
In 1994, he was commissioned to design an advertisement for Auckland International Airport. Always searching for new challenges, Amir moved to the United States in 1995 residing in Atlanta, Georgia. There he began researching and exploring the extensive subject of the American landscape.
In 1996, he studied with another Correspondent School, gaining a Diploma in Master Art. During this time Amir created more than 200 original oil paintings as well as some reproductions mostly commissioned.
In 2000, he was commissioned by Trinity Gallery in Atlanta, to create two paintings for the largest Hilton Hotel in the United States. After waiting two years to obtain his legal status in the United States, he was deported to New Zealand He continues painting his visions, feelings and emotions.
He wasted no time and started a series of powerful expressive paintings - imaginary landscapes inhibited only by a solitary tree or a chair (sometimes with a small figure of a man), using the rich colors of dark reds, umber and browns. Walking into a space that contains one of Amir's paintings, the viewer's response is immediate and intimate.
These works are far from representational of a particular landmark, they are markers of emotional places.
"If only we would take the time to look, we would behold the peace, truth and love within each and every one of us as well as amidst the nature that surrounds us." Amir
Amir cites Monet, Cezanne and Rene Magritte as most influential. While his love of painting has made him a full-time artist, Amir's interests extend to include poetry, writing, computer graphic art, acting, photography and film making. |
