Untitled 

Here is an untitled oil painting, by Sohrab Sepehri, an Iranian painter and poet. The painting is dominated by cool and muted tones that evoke a sense of melancholy and quiet contemplation. The composition is structured around geometric forms: houses with sharply angled roofs and tall trees acting as vertical counterpoints. Sepehri uses visible brushstrokes to build layers, creating a textured surface that adds depth to the painting. The interplay between these angular shapes and organic lines of the trees introduces a dynamic tension. This visual language engages with modernist ideas about abstraction, reducing the scene to its essential forms, and can be seen as challenging traditional modes of representation. The muted palette and simplified forms function as signs, inviting us to look beyond the surface and reflect on themes of absence and introspection. It is through this formal reduction that Sepehri opens a space for personal and philosophical interpretation.
