This painting is by Sohrab Speheri. I'm interested in Sepehri's poetry, although his paintings illustrate his poetry both in terms of subject matter and style. His poems are light hearted and induce Buddhist ideas, mysticism and western taraditions. He mingled the Western concepts with Eastern ones to create his poetry. I used to read them as a teenager. I can follow my interest from him to Kiarostami's film. Story happen in setting of a village in major works of both of them although Kiarostami address more philosophical meanings whereas Sepehri leave us with a nostalgic and child like pleasure. Yet we see tree as a bold part of image in Kiarostami setting as well as his photographs. He make a road on top of a flat hill and locate a tree there in one of his films.
