While you can call me Ariu or Ario (آریو), my last name carries the weight of a powerful word: Azadi (آزادی), which translates to “Freedom” in Persian. This concept resonates deeply within my artistic expression.

My Art: A Journey of Self-Discovery

My creations often emerge from improvisation, guided by fleeting thoughts and emotions or something deeply rooted within. I find it challenging to articulate the precise meaning behind these works. If words could suffice, I would speak, write, or sing. Instead, I translate these intangible feelings into visual art, pushing my artistic skills to their limits.

Beyond Words

I sometimes accompany my pieces with a few sentences of explanation or a relevant poem, but even these words rarely capture the full depth of my experience. These are the pieces I think I understand, though I struggle to translate the feeling into concrete language.

A Mystery to Myself

More frequently, I finish a piece and wonder, “What was going on in my mind?” My art becomes a journey of self-discovery, a way to explore the depths of my own consciousness.

Understanding Through Time

With time, revisiting older works offers new perspectives. I begin to understand their origins and underlying meanings, a testament to the ever-evolving nature of self-knowledge.
I am constantly discovering new facets of myself, just as all human beings do.
