His world is one of abstract and
ethereal connections expressed in his colourful art. A lonely soul, Reza feels
his uprootedness contributes to his depth. The many places he has lived and
worked, including Iran, United States and Italy, have played a major role in
shaping his work. As the artist prepares for a retrospective exhibition at the State Russian
Museum in Saint Petersburg, he outlines his artistic
vision, stressing the importance of freedom of expression. (Screened at FIFA in
