In his painting Oasis, Parviz Kalantari captures a vivid portrait of a bygone way of life—homes turned inward, courtyards filled with trees, and alleyways that served not only as thoroughfares but also as spaces for human connection. In this frame, Kalantari both revives the memory of those days and subtly critiques the modern disconnect between people and their roots or environments.
The 6th Damonfar Visual Arts Festival paid tribute to the late painter Parviz Kalantari and filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami at the opening ceremony on Friday.
