"Jamal Bakhshpour is one of the old and reputable, contemporary Iranian artists. He has lived and worked in Germany for the greater part of the past three decades.

"...As far as I am aware, during the last few decades, we haven't had any Iranian artist with Jamal Bakhshpour's imagination, mastership, technical skills and proficiency in the use of iron brush and brilliant colours.
