Sourena Parhizkar, a Franco-Iranian artist living in France since 2010, has pursued his passion for French artists by continuing his studies in France. After passing a competitive exam to enter one of the best art universities in his country, he obtained a visa to study in Strasbourg and eventually earned his MFA in Fine Arts. Over time, his art has evolved from traditional Iranian architecture to a more abstract approach that explores the natural world through the use of organic materials.

Earth and soil has become one of his preferred materials to establish a physical connection with his adopted land, France. Through his works, he translates his vision of a dehumanized world by working with organic materials to create surfaces that only subsist in darkness and raw wounds. He uses natural materials to show a nature that rebels against humans, displaying their anger.

The raw texture of the works in this series allows him to convey his vision of suffering while delivering an ecological message. By giving a voice to the Earth through the material of earth, Sourena Parhizkar aims to warn humanity of the catastrophes it has caused. The fate of nature and humanity appears closely linked through the exploration of perpetually changing organic materials. A fragile work that takes us through mutilated lands and the universality of an ecological message in fallow. The artist uses cracking and dripping as an allegory of the incident, the accident that destroys the ornamental pattern inherent to Eastern traditions.

His polymorphic sculptures foreshadow cutting or crushing.

With his works, he aims to raise public awareness about the importance of preserving the environment. Always evolving, he continues to exhibit his works using ever more innovative techniques to express his message through his art. He wants to focus the viewers’ attention on these two elements which, according to him, require the most attention and respect. His work serves as a powerful reminder that the fate of nature and humanity are closely linked, and that it is our responsibility to take care of the environment for the sake of future generations.
