Good Old Valentines

Artist: Hemad Javadzade

 

 

About the Artist:

Hemad Javadzade, is the creator of marvellous surreal paintings/drawings in which the audience faces various levels of colour, composition and concept. In his artworks, we experience facing aliens, ruin and destruction that lead you to a surreal world where disorientation, profundity and uncanny incidents lead you to a world beyond the human mind. Most of his artworks are special due to the appearance of the urban context and Persian classic elements. Presence of alien creatures beyond the reality and our perception of nature make Hemad’s art mesmerizing. The conflict between human being, animals and aliens may not be plausible in the real world, but human’s mind is eager to get engage with it.

Hemad Javadzade’s paintings and illustrations, more than anything, are an artist’s self-explorations; a journey into inner layers of his own mind. The humour which can be seen in most of his works is a nod to the fact that, in our social interactions, we project nothing but our own unconscious impulses and complexities. This psychological projection can be seen in different aspects of our behaviour and routines, including the creation of artwork.
