The Gaze of the Carpet Painting

"The Gaze of the Carpet" is an exceptional work in the realism style, created by focusing on the delicate details of a face and its connection to the patterns of a Persian carpet. This piece communicates with the viewer not through overt expression, but through visual silence and a depth born from multiple layers of oil paint. The silent presence of a woman emerging from the weave of the carpet narrates a tale of beauty inherent in tradition.

This work is designed for serious collectors of realist art and buyers who value the creative process and technical finesse. Its audience is not someone looking merely to fill a wall, but rather to invest in a piece that is the result of patience, high skill, and a deeper perspective on contemporary figurative art with Iranian roots. This painting is suited for spaces where silence and contemplation are valued.

This painting was executed using a completely classical and time-intensive method: the use of pure oil paint and very fine brushes, combined with the application of numerous, ultra-thin layers. Each layer was added only after the previous one had completely dried. This "layering" process allows for the creation of depth, volume, and complex chiaroscuro in a wholly natural way, without the use of any physical texture or impasto materials. The result of this technique is a smooth, even surface that simultaneously conveys a sense of three-dimensionality and life. Details such as skin texture, the nap of the clothing, and the complexity of the carpet design in the background are created not with paint thickness, but with subtle variations in tone and color intensity. This execution method leads to exceptional long-term color stability. The final and complete curing of the canvas may take several months, which is an indicator of the quality and proper consistency of the oil paint used.
