In the second day of the Iranian New year and nearly in the 3th year of living in exile i am so glad and happy .honestly it was nearly 2 years of horror and disappointment for me . 3 years of trying to live in a cold and cruel Germany where the graffiti kids are more like Newyork wannabe Gangsters and most of the older are like up-nose people, too much far from the spirit of Art ,while considering themselves as Contemporary urban artists just with technic,marketing and communication network.bitter and funny.
Two years which thought me the nature of life.i saw how things can go crazy.how friends can turn into enemies ,how fellows can rise up against you when they find you little bit Fragile. I learned how a Gallery can smile while he is literally serving an organization or some other plans which you may not even know or imagine.
I learned about things i could imagine but i was hopeful they do not exist in such a close distance in life. what i have experiences in last 4 years was officially a lot.alot for me .but i am glad i came alive out of those kidnapping,rubbery of my home,backstabbing by those i trusted and was great to know how Journalism works today.
I am not aiming to point out those journalists,publications and papers who use the name to get info and publish it in name of their own people to make their fake kind of Artists.those who made a Documentary with Fake footages and those who supported this aiming to stop a movement and take advantage of the market and control the poor young talents. street art and Graffiti Websites which grow like mushrooms with no humanist view point. just targeting the market and destroying every real thing they may notice around them.Clean and white gallery with fake makeup-highthills director who does not know even little bit about Art but sex and luxury. those Graffiti writeres who i trusted and became fakes.... I fuck them all, the emperors of hype. i do not let any of these into my world and i know the life which i am doing is nothing like what they're doing.the least thing i have gained in this past ten years was to know the real faces of many. from London artists,galleries,Agents to festival owners and journalists in US and Paris. So to know them and to know how dirty and unfaithful they are is a great thing to witness. this way i learned better about what is going on around me in the real world. what is going on in the news,in TV,inFestivals, in History books in the Art world.
That was the best thing i have gained .Some may preffer earning a fortune out of their Art. but as i believe my art have been always merged with my life , i do prefer to live it Real and gain experience.To know who is the guy who calls you his friend,his brother ,a human. how people can change when they feel its the time to take an advantage.
cheers to the world of those who suffer the life gaining new experiences and finding new treasures.
Cheers to all those Iranian Artists who seek a better future,seek a revolution in art,seek to say the truth and they suffered.

A1one : Iranian Graffiti Writer
A Page from a Life
When i started to focus on painting walls in 2003 ,my view point was different …then i learned about the word Graffiti and i imagined it as a group of Friends i am going to find with the same mind , taste of unity and Love . for me it was not a problem that i was doing it without permission. i was feeling like a human ,fundamentally living on earth -a bigger home.with all the fears of nights in Tehran and Lights of Police cars for me every night coming back home was an achievement to feel i am a Human and not a Formed Slave.
Time passed and i saw people around me calling me Anarchist, vandal,Artist,Inspiration or asking me if i am having political Aims? if i am having art for Sale or Gallery Shows? for me all these were just words… like the word Graffiti… in my head i was searching for answers and it hurt me. I was feeling a big young power in my soul pushing me on and i was going and going…. seeing more and witnessing different things…. virtues and vices of life …
Having moved to Germany after some Problems with the Authority in My homeland,because as a Painter and a human being i can not live under pressure of accusation of being a "Danger for the society" or being banned from any act of public painting.i have been through a lot of stressful moments ,losing connection with my friends,fellows and society itself was just one of the problems which could stop my progress and break some bridges of communication. being misunderstood by the peaceful and mostly connected chain of worldwide writers who have lived a more peaceful life looking for Mottos like Friendship and liberty and being disconnected from my own society who always criticized me by every work i was doing was all like an ongoing nightmare .It hurts a lot while learning and doing wrong homeworks while trying to be focused on the Lesson of Life.
I see a stressful side of myself while having me on track for painting… Pain-Thing…
things coming from my paint but smiling to the society. In The back it was a crazy soul who had been nude to everyone. All my joys,Angers , loves and hates have been always Nude to everyone and i know not every one can bear it in todays world of Politics and undercover knifes looking like shaking hands with flowers.
I have heard and seen things like everybody(to be honest i am not sure if what i have experienced is normally like everybody)at least i am sure i am not the very only one,and i can imagine now that the world has seen some Individuals who have passed through it with an extraordinary life ,while the more emotions you pay in living , the more pain comes to you and more times you may have to scream.
Now i am going to balance me.having me disconnected from the Gallery Atmosphere for a while After seeing unfair relations which blow my mind,Now i am going to reestablish my online-shop. until i can find a trustworthy person to handle the hard work of managing the way i can connect to the Audience who may appreciate my Art and can understand what is happening .

"Maybe I am a vandal maybe an Anarchist. I am glad to be introduced as one.I am not a politician. I am interested by social subjects. Without asking for a Permission, i express myself through Graffiti, wall paintings, stencils ,collages and stickers in streets of Tehran and other places I visit in the world "
