FEATURE : Artist
Whether he’s standing behind a wall of rain, facing
a split screen with a blazing fire, replacing his head
with the empire state building, or wearing a cloud like
Napoleonic hat, there is a persistent feeling of calm
in his work.
He rarely juggles too many elements at once, often
just taking two or three at a time and bringing them
together as seamlessly as he can. He also strives for
simplicity with his color palette, keeping many parts
of his images monotone or black and white, and
ensuring that the overall variety is kept to a minimum
per image.
Navid goes for simplicity in his individual images, and
diversity in his overall body of work, making sure he
nails each visual idea perfectly, and letting his work
stand together and speak as a whole, without ever
being overwhelming. Self-portraiture is an art, and
Navid is a master.
