Iman Maleki: Images of Iranian Nature
I have always been impressed by realism in painting, among the many fascinations I had for the artistic -isms. Today I am sharing paintings by an Iranian realist called Iman Maleki. Iman Maleki was born in Tehran in 1976, and he has a website that you can access by clicking here. The website features the artist’s works (in much bigger sizes than the ones shown here), and I am sure many of you will find them simply stunning.
I came across Iman Maleki’s work by pure chance as I was googling images randomly, searching for exotic visuals (one of my favourite pastimes). Here are my favourite paintings; and as you shall presently see, they are of women. I believe I appreciate Maleki’s creativity because it also involved veiled women as models of beauty and wonder, instead of portraying them as objects of captivity and decline. There is nothing more profound than art that speaks to you.

These paintings are incredible - the detail in them is breathtaking. I had to sit here and think if they were photographs in disguise or what. Truly beautiful.
