A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words.Featured Artist: Mahmoud Farshchian

This is my second post on Moments of bliss, where I share my favorite artists with my wonderful readers who I hope in turn will be able to unwind, admire and  draw some inspiration from the colorful worlds created by these artists. I'm afraid these posts cannot be enjoyed when you are in a rush. These posts are meant to be savored for their beauty and details and help you relax. So please, grab a cup of hot drink, exhale and  take some time out for a moment of bliss...
Mahmoud Farshchian born January 24, 1930 is a master of Persian painting and miniatures. He was born in the city of Isfahan in Iran, a place famed for its art and artists, and it was here where he started to learn art, painting and sculpting.
His masterpieces have been hosted by several museums and exhibitions worldwide. He's the most modernizer of the field of miniatures, an art form which was first established in Ancient Persia, and later spread to China and Turkey and other Middle eastern countries.

All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,

"You owe me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.” -Hafiz (13th Century Persian Poet)
