A MASTER PIECE OF
MATADOR
COLLECTION
Matador Koleksiyonu:
The traditions and cultures around me have always inspired me.
Now what caught my attention is MATADOR:
Matador has its own story, but it contains a new message for today's modern world, The "bull" symbolically represents career development, success in business, prosperity and health.
As the world struggles with such a pandemic, I believe that the goodness of this animal will help people.
In addition, we should not ignore that the bond between human, nature and animal is one of the most important values in the world.
Matador Collection was created by me after being inspired by a sculpture made by an artist named Nima Mohseni.

Shams ( sun ):
Shams stands for sun . It is basically same as bergamot which is shown as circle or polygon.
In Islamic art pieces sun represents light and oneness.In total sun symbolizes day youth , life , happiness, warmth.
In Islamic art Shams generally inspired by the role of Persian patterns such as Arabesque tracery, heliotropes, inscription ...
FARVAHAR COLLECTION:
The Faravahar is one of the best-known symbols of Zoroastrianism, the state religion of ancient Iran. This religious-cultural symbol was adapted by the Pahlavi dynasty to represent the Iranian nation.The winged disc has a long history in the art and culture of the ancient Near and Middle East. Historically, the symbol is influenced by the "winged sun" hieroglyph appearing on Bronze Age royal seals (Luwian SOL SUUS, symbolizing royal power in particular). In Neo-Assyrian times, a human bust is added to the disk, the "feather-robed archer" interpreted as symbolizing Ashur.
I used “ Ahura Mazda” which it means GOD in my products also design them by old Persian cuneiform to express the importance of this shapes in Persian culture. “Old Persian cuneiform” is a semi-alphabetic cuneiform script that was the primary script for Old Persian. Texts written in this cuneiform have been found in Iran (Persepolis, Susa, Hamadan, Kharg Island), Armenia, Romania (Gherla), Turkey (Van Fortress), and along the Suez Canal.
Interpretation of Farvahar
The Fravahar's face resembles the face of human being and therefore, indicates its connection to mankind. There are two wings which have three main feathers. These main feathers indicate three symbols of ‘good reflection,' 'good words,' and 'good deed,' which are at the same time the motive of flight and advancement. The lower part of the Fravahar consists of three parts, representing 'bad reflection,' 'bad words,' and 'bad deed' which causes misery and misfortune for human beings.
The circle in the middle of the Fravahar's trunk indicates that our spirit is immortal, having neither a beginning nor an end. The Sun in the middle of two wings along each other which is in the high relief of Ahura Mazda also symbolizes the purity and divinity that sun brings to planet .
One hand of the Fravahar points upwards, showing that we have to struggle to thrive.
The other hand holds a ring. Some interpreters consider that as the ring of covenant, representing loyalty and faithfulness which is the basis of Zarathustra's philosophy. Aryan history and Persian culture which always is my concern , inspired me to use Farvahar sign with all the meanings inside for creation this collection.
To be free of belief and unbelief is my religion.

RUMI COLLECTION:
Mevlana Jelaledin Rumi is a 13th century Poet who known throughout the world for his exquisite poems and words of wisdom, which have been translated into many languages.
This collection has 3 parts:
1- ESHGH (عشق /Love )
2- Jan (جان / spirit)
3- Heech (هیج / Nothing)
4-Noghteh (نقطه/Dot)
1-ESHGH ( Love / عشق )
Love “عـشق” encompasses a range of strong and
positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection and to the simplest pleasure.
In Rumi’s poem love means the elixir of life and the best excuse of life .
If there is no love , there’s nothing.
The pure meaning of love that is used in Rumi’s poem inspired me to create this collection.
