Portraits of People, Beyond the Image

August 2026

The painting exhibition Someone Is Here, featuring works by Vahid Abbaszadeh, a painter from our city, is currently being held in Mashhad.

When you enter Someone Is Here, the first thing that captures your attention is the faces. They are people from different eras and worlds, now brought together within the frames of the paintings. From renowned literary and scientific figures to artists and contemporary personalities, each face appears on the canvas with its own distinctive details and atmosphere.

It is as though the artist has sought, by reimagining these familiar faces, to bring before us once again the people we have known for years through photographs and books.
