Artist's Statement
Sassanic Plate
Ceramic
The peacock in ancient Middle Eastern cultures was a
symbol of new life, renewal and protection. And the
peacock that came down from the Sassanid Empire was the
first motif that deeply moved me ever since I started my
career in ceramics. I always regarded it as the most
beautiful motif in Islamic patterns. I still clearly
remember the remarks of my teachers that “tradition” is
the most firm ground for the artist.
This circular and balanced design of swirling
peacocks evokes the perfect harmony of life.
