Amir Shayesteh Tabar
 Amir Shayesteh Tabar - امیر شایسته تبار Born(7th of April 1967, - 12:30 noon time) is a Artist Persian Painter poet.

Amir is best known for his Unique Islamic Art Work The Blue Symphony the concept is completed only by the word's of ' In the Name of God the most Gracious the most merciful ' بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم" and no other words or additional lines are used, not broken or non-completed. With the use of words instead of lines and traditional Patterns the designs are striking they integrate and overlap positive and negative areas in such a way that it gives fluid illusion. The design looks fabulous in many settings i.e exteriors, interiors, carpets, palaces, homes, mosques, spiritual places, hospitals, executive offices, libraries, airports, jewellery, roads, new cities, new buildings, the list is endless and remarkable.

The Blue Symphony
The Blue Symphony will give a multifaceted intercultural dialogue that bridges the divides through common value and goals of finding a way to bring peace and this is a way of making it totally visible to the world. The Artist's aim is to spread a clear message of peace with his work to as many countries as possible and to different religions. The Blue Symphony communicates with all religions which believe in God, and also they have the main subject in common the hidden spiritual nature and faith in the 'The Divine'.

So if the message will be accepted with leaders and organizations with the emphasis on peace activities avoiding political arguments, this is the first few steps towards this using Art as the objective.

Amir Shayesteh Tabar should be been regarded as Iran's greatest living artists.

 

Early Years
A Persian Iranian, born to normal working class parents he enjoyed no privileges and no special opportunities during his childhood.

Amir has a BA degree in Industrial Management. After finishing his high school and before starting university studies, he was in a dilemma whether to study Art or to choose another subject. Whomever he asked for advice in that regard, his friends, relatives and professionals, almost all of them would answer " There is no stable future in art or Money. - that is. Furthermore, during that time in Iran ( Iran-Iraq War) there were very few seats in the Art college for university students, Shayesteh Tabar considering the harsh reality, chose to stick to the following advice: study of Management in order to have a secure seat in a university, as the chance for seats were easier to get, than painting practise at that time. So putting his love of painting to one side, however since Art was his passion, he dedicated most of his free time in libraries reading about Art rather than Management!

During this time, he studied many books about painters, photographers, poets, history of Art and… That period was truly the best time of his life.

Besides that, he spent about 6-7 months attending different painting workshops and coupled that with dedicated personal practise in painting and graphic design.

Family Origin
Amir's parents are originally from Iran, north west of Iran- Tabriz, and both of them moved with their parents from Tabriz to Tehran during 1940's.

Inspiration
Shayesteh Tabar started his art activities by drawing -- mostly Black & White. His real masters were actually painting books in Libraries. Almost everyday after university, he was in a Library to Study with enthusiasm from Painters, architects and Photographers from different countries around the world and through History of Art. He can therefore say that he got inspiration for Art book's in the Libraries. During study in Islamic Art he realized one important point – that after the Golden Time in Islamic Art most of Islamic designs in different countries began to follow the same patterns and outlines. They are repeating the same concepts century after century, so he concluded that this movement needed some re-innovation.

Later Years
Turning point creating, 'The Blue Symphony" concept?

Speaking with another Friends or Artists about his Idea for a new Concept or definition of Geometric forms, most of them told me "We don't understand what are you talking about", and sometimes they laughed at him! He decided to follow his inner voice coming from his heart. He was so sure that with good imagination and hard work it will be possible to reach new forms in Islamic Geometric Patterns, in the whole of the History of Islamic Design. In architecture especially, geometric forms are created by lines and the words (mostly Holy Quran words) are mainly around the geometric subjects.

His plan was to use words instead of the lines. In addition, he opted to use new geometric forms, not the same ones that the past artists used.

So he started this Project without any idea about what will happen in the future. During his free time, he would practise with words and their multiple combinations according to new geometric designs. One night one of them took a shape. Amir will not forget that night in his life, because what occurred was much better than he expected and planned. The Picture which was in front of him, it was a definite answer to his questions. He admires it so much because he states "it was not a result of my efforts, it was a blessing." As a designer he feels he was only an instrument, a medium of transfer."Somehow it simply came through my heart from.. somewhere else, as a precious Divine gift".

He never considered himself to be a creator of those forms & pictures, "it truly wasn't me! It was something that existed in the depth of my heart for many years and simply came out. That time was observation". he was like wiped out in that moment, surrendered to Beauty and Greatness of Divine and his true Love, ALLAH.

That night was his turning point –the kindness and blessing of Divine.
