Artwork Description

about this calligraphy painting

The Season 19 Series by Babak Rashvand emerged during the global COVID-19 pandemic. This body of work serves as a deeply personal and contemplative reflection of that unprecedented time. The series captures the emotional landscape of isolation, uncertainty, and global transformation.

Through his calligraphy paintings, Rashvand expresses the raw emotions brought about by the pandemic.  Unlike some of his earlier work, Season 19 does not use gold or silver leaf. Instead, Rashvand embraces a muted palette, choosing subtle tones and intricate textures. This shift enhances the meditative and introspective atmosphere of the series.
The viewer is drawn into the quiet tension between form, color, and flowing script.

Layered compositions feature delicate lines and abstract forms that evoke depth and timelessness. The result is an artwork experience that feels still, yet emotionally alive. 

In this series, Rashvand blends Persian calligraphy with contemporary abstraction. Free-flowing forms contrast with the structured elegance of classical script. This creates a visual dialogue between chaos and order.

Each piece encourages reflection on simplicity, complexity, and the universal search for meaning. The balance between traditional precision and expressive freedom invites emotional engagement.

Season 19 also conveys themes of resilience, stillness, and healing. Its restrained tones and expressive script evoke quiet strength and spiritual renewal. These works offer viewers a space for contemplation and emotional restoration.

More than visual art, these paintings act as meditative anchors for those navigating change. They hold space for reflection, grief, resilience, and hope. This series stands as a poetic response to collective hardship and inner growth. Rashvand’s work bridges cultural heritage and modern experience through timeless artistic language. It documents not just a moment in history, but the endurance of the human spirit.
