Nadalian: River Art

An interview by John K. GRANDE

Nadalian is an Iranian sculptor whose life's work involves engendering respect for living creatures and the natural environment. To achieve this, besides living with nature himself, he established sculpture grounds in a peaceful environment in natural surroundings. Water is a living element that contributes to his sculptures, and many of the symbols he engraves and sculpts are derived from ancient mythology and the rituals of pre-Islamic civilizations. more

About Ahmad Nadalian

By Professor Robert C. Morgan

"I was so impressed with your concept, working at low tide in the early mornings to carve signs that during the day would be concealed. It calls into question so much about time, history, language, meaning, and sculpture." More

Works by Nadalian In Italy

In June 2003, when he presented his RiverArt project in the 50 biennale of Venice, he carved images of fish on the stones and rocks of seashore in Lido. He also dropped many of his stones with images of fish in the Canal of Venice. This was done with the hope of bringing better environment, life and fertility. More

In August 2003 he has carved more fish, crabs, snakes, hand and feet on the stones and rocks of Lido as a part of the Open 2003 exhibition. More

In August 2006, Nadalian has been invited by “Montagnardi” association based in Pescia (PT- Tuscany) to participate in “Verdearte” event. The main field of activity of this association is environmental education and cultural promotion. During this festival he has preformed his environmental works in the mountain region of Pescia near Florence. His works can be seen from along a path leading to an old watermill. More
