Negargari on Glass is a less common, yet equally captivating, offshoot of Persian miniature painting, where the intricate details and vibrant colors of traditional miniatures are applied to glass surfaces. This technique often involves painting in reverse or layering, creating a unique interplay of light, transparency, and depth, adding a delicate fragility and ethereal quality to the miniature scenes.
For "Glass Realm Sphere," Mohammad Jamshidi embraces the inherent challenges and beauty of applying Negargari to the unique, transparent surface of a basketball (perhaps encased in clear glass or a similar medium, or painted on an interior glass sphere). The sphere becomes a self-contained world where miniature scenes, perhaps floating or interconnected, are rendered with breathtaking detail on the glass. The transparency of the medium allows light to filter through, illuminating the intricate artistry from within and without, creating an enchanting play of shadow and color. This piece is a truly innovative fusion, transforming a dynamic sporting object into a delicate, luminous globe containing a tiny, hand-painted universe, inviting viewers to gaze into its depths and discover hidden narratives.
