Lion and Sun hand sticht on Persian Rug by Mr. Mohsen Mousavi into a piece of artwork. He says: "The Harmony of Tradition and Modernity in Iranian Art serves as the storyteller of a nation’s history and identity, and few symbols embody the essence of Iran as profoundly as Persian carpets. These intricate masterpieces carry the echoes of ancient times, preserving narratives woven into their very fabric.

 

In this piece, I have sought to unite tradition and modernity through a pictorial patchwork of old handwoven carpets, intertwining the craftsmanship of the past with a vision for a renewed and evolving cultural identity. At the heart of this work, the Lion and Sun, a timeless emblem of Iran, is reborn in a contemporary form. The lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and heritage, and the sun, representing enlightenment and wisdom, come together to create a fresh yet deeply rooted visual language.

 

Each fragment of the carpet embodies a piece of my homeland’s history, culture, and spirit—a revival of the past that breathes life into the new. This innovative style, which I have pioneered, serves as a bridge between past and present, authenticity and innovation. Through this artistic exploration, I aspire to inspire a new movement—one that not only safeguards the richness of Iranian heritage but also redefines it within a contemporary artistic framework, ensuring that tradition continues to flourish in a modern world."
