Ishmael Fa is an Iranian contemporary artist whose work moves quietly between abstraction and emotion.
Guided by intuition rather than intention, his creations reveal a dialogue between balance and chaos — a meditation on space, silence, and the subtle imperfections that make a form alive. Through the ish art series, he explores how minimal gestures can hold vast emotions.
Each line, texture, and shade becomes a fragment of memory. capturing what cannot be spoken — the weight of stillness, the rhythm of thought, and the invisible boundary where feeling meets form.
His art rejects ornament, yet embraces depth. It is not about what is seen, but what remains after looking — a whisper of meaning that lingers, long after the image fades. For Faghihi, simplicity is not emptiness; it is awareness — an act of seeing, of slowing down, of being present in the silence between things.
