Abstract

Through the journey of the mural painter's search for everything new, and his constant quest for exciting artistic experiences through research and exploration, and continuous experimentation with materials, he found what he was looking for in those found objects and things that weren't originally made for any artistic purpose in the first place. However, he has repurposed it within the context of the work. As he sees something fundamental within that can be a new addition and source of inspiration for the artwork. Among those things are old car tires, remnants of wooden seats, stones, coins, pieces of glass, car bodies, electrical appliances, and more. He used them in a way where they can still be identified in their original condition, even if he added some colors to them while preserving their personality. Keeping in mind the time factor, shape, texture, and nature of the material, and presenting it as another image other than those known materials, and trying to create a new aesthetic language, emphasizing the ability of his mural work in expressing the contemporary issues of the society.
