Beyond the surface
Paintings
By Jaleh Etemad

The Iranian
I find that the challenge in painting comes when
the painter sees something beyond the surface of the subject
matter. The successful execution of techniques in a painting
is only a matter of practice. The real challenge is to bring
out what is beyond the surface, whether it is the feeling or
the character. Once it is discovered and unearthed from the depth
of the surface, then the painting is complete.
The same theory applies to the viewer. Some see
the surface and others see the depth. That is when the love for
a piece of art begins.
