My name is Saeed Gholami. I have turned 30 this year. It’s been more than 10 years that painting has taken up a large chunk of my daily routine. Through this relentless devotion to painting a clearer image of my “self” is becoming increasingly Apparent and there isn’t a day go by that I don’t get to know a new corner of my being, “being” that every day I have strived to unlock its mysteries. Sources of my inspiration to create works of art are all within me, clear or vague, near or far they seem to be, I always endeavor to paint them and in process pushing myself and the medium of painting. Of course, there are times that my inability to take a snap shot of the reality within me causes it to drift further away from my conscious grasp. At times inspiration is stimulated from people around me, a movie or theatre I have watched, a music performance or simply literal works or pictures I see here and there. The past sometimes is a plea to drag my creations from depth of oblivion to surface of reality, to recreate what has happened to me, for art has always got one foot in amongst the dead. Painting for me takes place in here and now, and maybe therefore I have never been one to work in specific and lengthy time slots. Every day I open myself to be taken away with new and surprising themes. Unforeseen events and accidents are re-accoutering themes in my paintings. Sometimes I free my previous works from the constrains of the time of their painting which encapsulates them by the boundaries of the canvas, by simply painting over them and connect my work with the essence of wholeness. I have read somewhere that painting never ends, only put aside. For me painting marches to the endless, and it connects with the only timeless segment of my being, the spirit of painter.
