<strong>Art</strong>ist Dr. <strong>Aziz</strong> Anzabi<br />

((@aziz_anzabi)) is originally from<br />

Iran currently based in London.<br />

.<br />

His practice is mainly focused on<br />

sculpture and painting.<br />

Through his art, Anzabi explores<br />

the concept of myths and rituals<br />

by examining their role and<br />

significance to the human<br />

tradition. Anzabi's<br />

figurative and abstract creations<br />

form an unconscious emotional<br />

connection to a deeper yearning<br />

with the viewer. "My ultimate<br />

goal is to have the viewer<br />

feeling a sense of familiarity with<br />

the<br />

work, a sense of having<br />

experienced this before.”<br />

.<strong>Aziz</strong> Anzabi's art (aziz-anzabi.com)<br />

describes a fantasy that shelters the<br />

individual in order to lead him<br />

throughout life. With strong<br />

surrealist influences, Anzabi creates<br />

a universe that establishes a sense<br />

of harmony and balance. Anzabi's<br />

work is heavily influenced by<br />

Mahmoud Farschian, evidence of<br />

which can be seen in the lines and<br />

textures of his work - both painting<br />

and sculpture. Anzabi's style and<br />

influences are diverse and whilst<br />

some of his artwork is reminiscent<br />

of Dali, other pieces have elements<br />

of cubism, realism, impressionism<br />

or more interestingly a<br />

juxtaposition of more than one<br />

style therein inventing a whole new<br />

style of his own.<br />
