Titled ‘A Review of Artworks’, the collection included 31 miniature paintings and 2 illuminated manuscripts (‘Tazhib’ in Persian) created by the artist during his professional career spanning several decades, Financial Tribune reported.
“I combined illuminated manuscript with painting technique, for it was a more feasible way to convey the inner mood through a combination of words and forms,” said the artist.
An illuminated manuscript is a manuscript in which the text is supplemented with such decoration as initials, borders (marginalia) and miniature illustrations. In the strictest definition, the term refers only to manuscripts decorated with gold or silver; but in both common usage and modern scholarship, it refers to any decorated or illustrated manuscript.
