The unknown nature:
The idea of how human beings face different types of challenge led me to this idea that different people each has a special way of approaching to their challenges. I would argue that the way of approaching or problem solving quality in mankind stems from the unconscious mind. This way of problem solving is accompanied by natural expressions and reactions toward the issue, which he/she is facing. As the personalities differ from one person to another so do the expressions and reactions, each would be an indication of personality. What I will focus on in the third period of my paintings is a comprehensive study through these reactions and natural expressions, which I hope assists to have a better understanding of unknown aspects of human characteristics. In fact the indication of such aspects of one’s personality is better revealed by natural reactions, that he makes toward a situation, rather than facial expressions. The two main methods of documentation for such concepts are photography. In order to capture those natural expressions, the subject has to be involved in an activity or a challenge making him to reveal feelings in a natural way. Therefore the unawareness of model the model is more effective and necessary than if aware of the camera; otherwise there would be an interruption in what nature is offering. This stage of painting is more abstract than previous stages as the simplicity of colours, shapes and composition in abstract painting will convey the meaning more effectively and the viewer will not be distracted by realistic elements in painting. The blank background at this stage is not any more a presentation of supportive atmosphere accompanying the personage; conversely it will be a challenging atmosphere causing tension for the figure as there will be a conveyance of action and reaction between the figure and space around it.
