Acquiring an original

Every work exists
exactly once.

Each artwork begins with Caran d'Ache Luminance coloured pencils on archival Bristol board and is developed slowly, layer by layer, over many weeks. Depending on the complexity of the subject, a single piece can require anywhere from forty to over one hundred hours of work. I create only a small number of works each year.

One of the most difficult parts of being an artist is letting a piece leave the studio. By the time a drawing is complete, I have often spent months with it, studying every detail and living with it as part of my daily routine. For that reason, it is important to me that each piece finds a home with someone who genuinely connects with the work and will enjoy it for years to come.

To every collector who chooses to bring one of my drawings into their home, thank you. Your support allows me to continue creating, exploring new ideas, and dedicating time to a craft that has become an important part of my life.

Original works

Acquiring
a Hemadani.

Each original is one of a kind: a single sheet of Bristol board, worked in Caran d'Ache Luminance coloured pencil across forty to over one hundred hours. I make a small number of works each year, with no shortcuts and no assistance.

Acquiring an original means holding something that exists nowhere else. When a drawing leaves the studio, there is no second copy hanging anywhere else. What you have is the only one.

Questions, answered

Before you
enquire.

My originals are one of a kind, and I don't reproduce them. If I ever create work for a limited edition, it will be a separate project, clearly numbered and announced first to the private list.

Prices are not listed. Every enquiry is handled personally by Alireza, and a conversation about the work, what drew you to it, where it will live, comes before anything else.

A signed certificate of authenticity, details of the materials and process, and photographic records from the studio. Provenance is established from the moment the work changes hands.

Yes, worldwide, insured, and professionally packed. Works on paper require specific handling, and every shipment is treated accordingly.
