He also designed the gold coins in<br />
commemoration of the 2500th<br />
anniversary of the Persian Empire.<br />
Between 1972-1978, Hatemi<br />
established the Design <strong>Art</strong> Center in<br />
Tehran and produced very large<br />
sculptures commissioned by the<br />
Mayor of Tehran. His statue of Shah<br />
Abbas on horseback is on display at<br />
Isfahan's Square and a statue called<br />
Birds and the Rock at Argentina<br />
Square in Tehran.<br />
After 1979 - Istanbul, Turkey<br />
After the Iranian revolution,<br />
Hatemi moved to Turkey with his<br />
young family in 1983.<br />
He continued his painting in Bursa<br />
and Istanbul and started the<br />
orientalist movement within the<br />
Turkish art world. During this<br />
period his paintings became part<br />
of the Sabancı Collection and<br />
many other private collections.<br />
Paintings<br />
Early in his career, Hatemi took<br />
great interest in the tazhib<br />
technique and miniature paintings<br />
in particular. His main goal to apply<br />
his style to Ottoman Empire theme<br />
was very well received by the<br />
Turkish art scene. His admiration<br />
for miniature masters and his<br />
desire to apply this to a newer<br />
subjects lead to the creation of his<br />
"Stories of the Messengers" series<br />
in the early 2003 which became his<br />
most celebrated and famous series.<br />
In these series, Hatemi depicts<br />
stories of messengers which are<br />
common to Quran, Bible and Torah.<br />
He also paints scenes of old<br />
Istanbul which was commissioned<br />
by the royal family of Qatar.<br />
Istanbul & Istanbul series are the<br />
best example for this technique.
