Majid Kediry Art

Paintings are fragments of a journey—the journey of an artist's life—of learning and development in both artistic ability and human understanding. Beholders can partake in this journey, whether they fall into the categories of collectors, critics, or casual viewers. They get pleasure from it. Artists live in a subtle and a little magical place; it is a place that many people wax poetic about and frequently wish they could visit. It is a world that was devised to be distinct from the commonplace and ordinary one that most everyday people live in. 

As an artist, I have always been fascinated by the power of symbols and their ability to communicate complex ideas and emotions. To me, art is a language, a means of expressing the inner workings of the human psyche that cannot be easily put into words.

My journey as a painter began when I was just a child, growing up in a small village nestled in the heart of the countryside. My parents were both artists, and I was fortunate enough to be raised in an environment that valued creativity and self-expression.

From a young age, I was drawn to the works of the Old Masters, and spent countless hours studying the techniques and styles of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Caravaggio. I was particularly fascinated by the way in which they used light and shadow to create a sense of depth and dimension in their paintings, and I spent years honing my own skills in this area.

As I grew older, I began to incorporate more and more symbols into my paintings, using them to convey the deeper meanings and emotions that lay beneath the surface of my subjects. I became obsessed with the idea of creating works that were both realistic and full of hidden meaning, and I spent years studying the myths, legends, and archetypes that have shaped human consciousness for thousands of years.

For me, painting is a quest, a journey of self-discovery and exploration that has no end. I am always searching for new ways to express myself, new symbols to incorporate into my works, and new techniques to master. My ultimate goal is to create art that speaks to the deepest parts of the human soul, that touches something within us all and helps us to see the world in a new light.

At the end of the day, I believe that art is about connection - connecting with ourselves, with each other, and with the world around us. Through my paintings, I hope to create a bridge between the inner and outer worlds, to help us all to see the beauty and wonder that surrounds us every day, and to inspire us to strive for something greater than ourselves.
