Parviz Fardi Rad

Photography and drawing has fascinated Parviz Farzi Rad throughout his life. The first initiation to draw and paint more frequently came true in 1988 in art classes of Ideen Aghdashloo, the well known Persian painter in all mediums. After finishing basic skills in drawing and colored pencil with him, Parviz explored and practiced watercolor, his treasured medium, by himself for few years. In the meantime, searching for a favorite master, he encountered to Atashzad, the pioneer in watercolor specially wet in wet watercolor paintings. His works thrilled and exited Parviz so much that he has stayed with him for many years and whenever he gets time attend his class and work with him. He showed Parviz the fluidity and transparency of watercolor which is distinctive from oil and other mediums.

Tiit Raid Artwork

Weeder #1 (segment)

 Email |  Quotes

Tiit Raid

Tiit Raid lives on the banks of Fall Creek near Eau Claire, Wisconsin. A pond that is part of the creek and poised at the top of a spectacular waterfall is right outside his back door. Kayaking on the pond has become a daily obsession as well as a resource for an ongoing series of paintings. These vivid, beautifully painted and crafted objects reveal a unique perspective on this specific point of interest. Even though the artist's style and technique remain consistent, the range of images is broad reaching. Several pieces are close-up reflections of the riverbank suggesting an abstract emphasis, while others are more panoramic with identifiable imagery. Regardless of the subject matter, all of these paintings are a testimony to the imagination and skills of an artist who had to look no further than his own back yard for a world of ideas and inspiration.
