Honest
Paintings
By Sepidé Majd
August 28, 2000
The Iranian
Composition, color and the unconscious mind are key components of my
work. I use these elements together to convey my surrounding, as I relate
to it, and as it relates to me. The biggest challenge I encounter when
working is to successfully bring to life what I see and feel with my mind's
eye.
This challenge leads me on a journey, towards a never-ending process
of learning and experimenting with different types of medium and subject
matter. I choose my medium according to its success in conveying my vision;
hence the diversity in the collection of my work.
Through this process of learning and experimenting, I try to keep my
work honest and fresh. To sum it up, Matisse says it best:
"You have to know how to preserve that freshness and innocence
a child has when it approaches things; you have to remain a child your
whole life long and yet be a person who draws energy from the things of
the world."
