Water water everywhere and the boards did shrink; water water everywhere, and not a drop to drink... Samuel Taylor Coleridge "The rhyme of the ancient mariner"

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." More

An Iranian sculptor brings his art to the river, beachesand parks.
On the first January 2008 we received British sculptor, Benjamin Hewett (Ben) who came to our Paradise. On the 2nd of April 2008, Ben went back home. Before he left I give him one of my carvings which had a design of a bird. I called this bird the Bird of Peace. Ben will take it home and make a nest in a hollow of a tree where he lives and this bird will start a new life.
UNDER THE DOME OF TIME:
The concept of permanence in sculpture is almost a subliminal aspect of Persian culture. It is a culture that virtually defines meaning in art according to how long the work will last. Then again, for artists like Behrooz Daresh and Ahmad Nadalian, the idea of permanence as a criterion in art is clearly beginning to change. They are interested in a more conceptual approach, and, to some extent, a more implicitly political approach. More Sculpture Magazine (Vol. 27, No. 2) March 2008
