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
By carving simple fish shapes and other forms onto small stones and river rocks, artist Ahmad Nadalian seeks to repopulate the spirit of neglected streams and rivers in his native Iran and around the world and share these treasures with future generations ... Over the past decade the artist has frequently traveled to cities and remote regions and locations in every continent to work with children and local residents to create countless treasures ... more
About Ahmad Nadalian
"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."

Tree of Life: 16th Environmental Art Festival in Iran - Noushahr- North of Iran (May 2008) Photos by Raheleh Zomorodinia & Ahmad Nadalian Report by Ahmad Nadalian During last week (April 29 –May 4, 2008) a new environmental art festival was held on the coast of Caspian Sea, in the north of Iran. More than 140 artists from different part of Iran gathered on this beautiful region to create environmental installations and sand sculptures. The festival also included a number of art performances. I was responsible to act as an art director.
I will carve fish for the whole of my life. For me the birth of my imaginary fish, their effort to survive, the ugliness of the evil times that destroy my fish all are a metaphor for the life of human beings in the present and the world we are living in.
I used red earth and painted portraits of young artists. I often depict mythological symbols. Snakes can frequently be seen in my works. I use this symbol as a reference; the exclusion of Adam and Eve in heaven. Many of his themes find their roots in the beginning of time when humans first started to evolve global mythologies in relation to their lives on earth. They have old meanings but new applications.
I saw the bird of the celestial garden... She has fallen into the net of this earthly world …
The other bird was in cage …
I am the bird of the celestial garden, not from the earthly world, for a while they have made a cage from my body.
They captured him …
His bones show his pain …
Wound of nature … Wound of human …
Our horse is now death …
A paradise near hell …
Our bad behavior…
W appreciates nature…
We sing song…
Endless way…
A place for worshiping …
Who can hunt the meaning of our animals …
Fertility of nature…
Construction of idea…
A way… Vastness of sea…
