Salari's design and production tradition in Tabriz is traced through the professional experience of Hedayatollah Hamidzadeh and his collaborators. Training and team collaboration carry forward local design experience, while drawings, shading and colour give the works their own spatial organisation, providing clear visual layers for traditional patterns.
Works and style
Contemporary works
Salari's visual language can be approached through two-colour divisions, animal placement and organised shading. Colour establishes relationships within the image; animals and patterns unfold in their respective positions, while shading adds a sense of space. Beginning with the overall divisions and then looking at responding details reveals the joint expression of composition and colour.
