The Work

The bull, the ram, the horse, the peacock, these figures have lived in Persian art for three thousand years. I paint them in oil and gold leaf, one canvas at a time, so the old stories keep breathing in new rooms.

Original works are held in private collections across Europe and the Middle East. Each painting is one of one.

The Studio

Where the myths are made

Hekmat Rahmani painting in his studio

Every canvas begins the same way: a bare surface, a first gesture, and hours of silence. These films follow paintings from the first stroke to the last layer of gold.
