Leila Heller Gallery is delighted to announce the upcoming solo exhibition by Morteza Darehbaghi, titled Timeless blossoms opening on 30th January, 2025.

Timeless blossoms explores the intersection of tradition and modernity through intricate works inspired by the enduring beauty and cultural symbolism of blossoms in art and nature. Throughout history, nature has been a profound source of inspiration, shaping artistic expression across cultures. Persian carpets exemplify this influence, transforming the beauty of gardens and delicate blossoms into intricate designs. These motifs are deeply woven into Iranian craftsmanship, creating timeless works that connect the human spirit with the natural world.

Drawing inspiration from centuries-old artistic traditions, Morteza Darehbaghi masterfully reinterprets classical Persian motifs such as Persian lacquer painting and the iconic Gol-o-Morgh (flower and bird) designs through contemporary techniques. His work echoes the timeless elegance of Persian art while infusing it with dynamic, modern energy.

Much like the ever-changing seasons in which flowers bloom, Timeless blossoms reflects on how our understanding of the past continuously evolves, blossoming into new and innovative forms. Darehbaghi’s pieces delicately balance the enduring spirit of classical art with the vibrant expression of contemporary creativity, fostering a dialogue between heritage and modernity.

Timeless blossoms reimagines Persian artistry while offering a modern reflection on the timeless bond between nature, culture, and the human experience.
