TEHRAN -- Architect and painter Yahya Fiuzi is a “contemporary Khayyam” who proficiently brings together science and art, veteran painter Iran Darrudi said during the opening ceremony of Fiuzi exhibit on Friday.

An exhibit displaying the artworks of Yahya Fiuzi tntitled “Beyond Numbers, Magic Squares, Paintings and Sketches” is underway at the Niavaran Cultural Center.
“My first meeting with this artist dates back to an event in which he was speaking about the number theory and I was amazed by his intelligence,” Darrudi noted. “Fiuzi’s works enrapture the visitors; they are so intellectually stimulating that they remind one of his/her own creative mind and inspire us to discover what a wonderful universe we each one have within ourselves,” Darrudi noted.
Acclaimed Iranian sculptor Parviz Tanavoli said he was waiting for a long time to see Fiuzi’s exhibition.
Tanavoli noted that Fiuzi’s artworks were distributed in digital format when he was living in France and the United States.
He lauded Fiuzi’s creations as abiding works of an international quality.
“Over the years I was living abroad, I was waiting for an opportunity to hold a unique exhibition like this one. But busy life would not let me hold exhibitions, although I had received several invitations from directors of Canadian and American museums.”
“The pieces you see here are the fruit of thirty years of work,” he stated.
“These works are capable of communicating with children and helping them turn the complicated world of mathematics into one of the most beautiful and lucid forms of knowledge,” Fiuzi added.
He announced that his artworks would be showcased at a number of prestigious U.S. museums in the near future. He expressed hope that holding such exhibitions in the U.S. by an Iranian would convey the Iranian nation’s message of peace to the world.
Fiuzi’s artworks which are based on numbers and the design of magic squares will be on display until May 30.
