M H Yaghooti - Fine Artist
Member Since: 03/06/2010
'An artist is a chameleon - colorful, diverse and subliminal.'
A meme, or idea, is a living organism. It has the capacity to change, apply and adapt quickly. I infuse my work with imagination and fluidity that reflects my environment and mood. Every painting is an observation in change within a manner of appearance and material, execution and subject matter. The artist can explore this change in politics, theology and idiosyncratic imagery thus building a dialogue between the artist and the viewer, leading them to his or her own interpretations, and giving them a unique and personal experience. The universe is constantly changing and so the individual and their work should as well.
I work in various mediums but oil and acrylic are magnetic. Much of my influence is derived from both traditional and modern artists such as Egon Schiele, H. Bosch, Goya, De Es, Francis Bacon and Kent Williams. Music plays a part as well. I’ve played drums in several projects for the past 15 years. This has enabled me to augment my understanding of creativity outside of visual art and human behavior.
Born in the United States of Iranian and El Salvadorian parents, I spent much of my youth in Jersey City and North Bergen, New Jersey. At seven years of age, I began drawing and copying Marvel and DC Comics characters. I took as many art classes as I could in high school and college, where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design with a concentration in Illustration from New Jersey City University. I’ve studied under such notables as Ben Jones, Anneke Prins-Simmons and Hugo Bastidas. I live in Jersey City, NJ where I maintain my website, isitandthink.com.
