Architect, town planner and painter, Marjan Fahimi, born in Tehran, and" came from Iran to Italy to study and you and "brought his roots Persians, those of the great outdoors that you are married to in the style of Western painting. Born so that the triptych dedicated to birds, where flocks of birds ascend the sky at sunset, or settle, like the notes of Pentagram, on the threads of the trellis of light standing out against peaceful spaces. Nature and the star of painting Marjan Fahimi, with all the works devoted to the sky, but without 'surreal intention, but a glimpse of calm marked by displaced and capricious cirrus clouds that come to life in the Persian sunlight. A nature and "always in danger, when he speaks with man, who often do not know the right to be custodian. Then, the landscape can "be marked by a barbed wire evoking war and destruction against which stands the emblematic and sincere cry Marjan Fahimi, woman artist of her time and hope ..." Prof. Marco Bussagli - Academy of Fine Arts in Rome “In the works of Marjan Fahimi, the subjects are characterized mainly by landscapes, views that highlight the main atmospheric phenomena: air, wind, clouds, rain, water, electricity, earth. dreamlike visions of a scenario in which the naturalistic component, characterized by great convincing poetry, is enchanted by nature and life. This art made of painting, promises a research of charge of 'mixed emotions, but also reveals an investigation into the matter. Marjan, the seduction of the chromatic component, promotes the charm of the sign, the expressive energetic traits that stand in the foreground and mention organic elements, plants, but also artificial objects, sometimes abstract fingerprints, marked on the landscapes which reflect with perseverance the elements of the sky and the earth. When the human presence is painted from the distance, he remains alone, behind. At the lower end of the stage. They are theater suggestions of an existential testimony on which are deposited as in dreams, light, glazes of delicate and refined colors; these layers, the artist applies them on a paper background, scratched, formed in a substrate in relief, which is standing on the different stages of pictorial nuances. Representations and so painful in any case, in arguments with lyrical tones taking on the dramatic, existential aspects, translated in the form of a complaint, a cry of warning of the robust environmental content. An accusation of this contemporary drama, ordered by a great love inner requirement of life ”. Vinicio Prizia - Presentation of the catalog "Backlighting" "In the" Emerald Table "which, according to alchemical tradition would have been posed by Hermes Trismegistus with the point of a diamond, he warns that" What is below is like what is above and what is above is like what is below ". And he is the mirror between Heaven and Earth to represent for Marjan Fahimi this modern Ascension. Marjan Fahimi was born in Tehran and He was there when he was young, he attended the first painting and drawing classes, then graduated in Italian language and literature, so his love for the beautiful country took to Rome, where he obtained a degree in architecture and urban design. Having grown up in Italy professionally and artistically (has won several grand prizes), is always in mind with her the suggestions of her earthly strands and rich traditions. And perhaps no coincidence that in her work is the perceived use in the world Islamic (prohibition or notice) not to reproduce the images of living creatures, classified as Ansab (standing stones) or it is "idols" that mimic the work of God and even if you really Persia has always had a more open attitude -. famous work of the fifteenth century, the representation of the vision of the prophet Isaiah with Muhammad and Jesus riding side by side (Jesus is considered a prophet by "Islam) - in Fahimi's paintings almost never appear animated figures: Cosmo dominates the scene. "Say Hello 2 Heaven" evokes Ascension "through the colors and movements of matter", as the artist explains, which represents "the duality of the existence of Earth and Heaven, two worlds that are reflected in the other, a thin line that separates them ”. Here, ascension is the act of "going beyond that line beyond which the Bliss" resides. But if in the baroque churches the ideal line was swept away by the succession of arches and domes encumbered by angels and saints, in this work of Marjan Fahimi the separation between Earth and Heaven is represented by the face each of the two worlds, as in the "Emerald Tablet" they are reflected in each other: plane and the upper light, dark and viscous than ours, that of the bottom, where we must find correspondences to reach divine bliss. »Carla Elena Isabella Cace - critical text for the opera" Say Bonjour 2 Heaven "published on Agenda Culture 2017
