Celebration of Seven Domes 

Hossein Behzad crafted this colorful composition depicting a royal celebration. The prominent domes, rendered in intricate patterns, rise above the scene, evoking a sense of architectural grandeur and spiritual transcendence. Domes, throughout history, have symbolized the cosmos, their curved forms mirroring the heavens. We see echoes of this symbolism in Byzantine mosaics, where Christ often resides within a golden dome, or in Renaissance paintings where the Virgin Mary is framed by similar architectural forms. This motif transcends cultures, appearing in varied forms, from the Pantheon in Rome to the Taj Mahal. It represents a longing for connection to the divine, a universal quest embedded deep within our cultural memory. It’s a visual language we understand on a subconscious level, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence. This enduring symbol invites us to reflect on the cyclical nature of history, where potent visual symbols resurface, evolve, and are imbued with new meanings across different epochs.
