Morteza Eshtiaghi

Morteza Eshtiaghi is a contemporary Iranian painter born in Isfahan in 1979. Raised in an artistic family, he was significantly influenced by his uncle, Mohammad Reza Atashzad—a renowned watercolor artist—who played a pivotal role in shaping his artistic path. Eshtiaghi began his formal art education at the Isfahan Fine Arts Conservatory, where he mastered the principles of color and artistic expression.

🎨 Style and Technique
Primary Medium: Watercolor, which he describes as a source of liberation and an excellent tool for expressing emotion.

Mixed Technique: In recent years, he has combined watercolor with acrylics to create larger-scale works and overcome the inherent limitations of watercolor.

Artistic Approach: His goal is to strike a balance between realism and a free, poetic interpretation of nature.

🌳 Central Themes
The visual identity of Eshtiaghi’s work is intrinsically linked to the poplar tree. He perceives trees as possessing a human-like identity; in his series *Beyond Endurance* (*Farasou-haye Taghat*), he uses poplar trees as a metaphor for humanity—sometimes depicted in isolation, other times in a collective, all within an atmosphere woven with both hope and darkness.
