The Iranian artist Mahrokh Fouladian (44), who lives in Antalya, lost a portfolio containing approximately 120 of his works. Fouladian, who says his paintings are like his children, stated, "I will work again, I will produce 100-150 new works."
The Iranian painter Mahrokh Fouladian, who opened an exhibition in Kaleiçi as part of the Culture Road Festival, lost the portfolio containing the paintings he plans to exhibit in the coming months.
LOST THE PORTFOLIO CONTAINING 120 WORKS
Fouladian, who stated that he lost the portfolio containing approximately 120 works on a stormy day two days ago, said, "It was Thursday. The rain stopped, I packed up and left the exhibition in Kaleiçi. My hands were very full, my feet were wet. Around 1:30 PM, I walked up from Üçkapılar. I was walking slowly to rest. I saw a sock shop, changed my socks, and then set off. I waited for my friend. My friend came, we put the belongings in the car. At that moment, I realized that I didn't have my portfolio."
"MY WORKS ARE LIKE MY CHILDREN"
Describing the moment he realized his works were lost, Mahrokh Fouladian said, "When I put my belongings in my friend's car, I noticed that my portfolio was missing. I was in shock. I have one child, but all my paintings were like my children. It's not a small thing for me. I was very sad, but actually, I was sad not for my paintings, but for art."
"I WILL CREATE AGAIN FOR ART"
Fouladian talked about the importance of expressing his emotions through his works, saying, "I have many works at home, but I wanted the works I wanted to show to be seen by art lovers. I wanted to show how much a person can experience their emotions, how they can come out of their shell. Maybe I can create even more beautiful works now. For art, for my duty," he said.
The artist Mahrokh Fouladian, who stated that the lost portfolio contained five years of effort, said, "I had about 120 works in the portfolio. I was planning an exhibition related to those works in March. I wanted to exhibit and show them in Antalya. I will work again, I will produce 100-150 new works, and I will exhibit them. I will relive those moments, I will create those paintings again. I will not give up because this is my life, my duty, and I will do it."
Addressing the person who finds the portfolio, Fouladian said, "The person who finds it will decide what to do. Perhaps that is their duty in this life."
