The Visionary Who Transformed Miniature Painting
Mahmoud Farshchian is often referred to as a national treasure. His museum in Tehran (Sa’dabad Palace Complex) is dedicated entirely to his works—something rarely achieved by a living artist. The fact that his designs were chosen for the shrines of Imam Reza in Mashhad and Imam Ali in Najaf underlines the cultural and spiritual weight of his contribution.
Beyond, his art has been celebrated in Europe and the United States, where it is often seen as a bridge between Eastern mysticism and Western aesthetics. His ability to merge these worlds makes him a global figure, not only a Persian master.
