VANDA is an Old Persian word, which means love, wish, and hope. Art Institute of Vanda on the bases of these three concepts started its work since 2004, and it continues its activity until now. This institute has been working with the help of different masters of art in many artistic courses under the supervision of Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. it has been teaching many courses in visual art fields.
One of the most famous and novel work of art which has been taught in this institute was a new technique with the name of "combined relief", which is the combination of one of the new style in sculpture and oil painting.
Purpose
The main purpose for selection of this artistic approach as our main style is the introduction of Iranian old history and their handicrafts to the world. Historical monuments and signs with the Iranian rug designs on them by "combined design" technique make a sense of glory and honor for the spectator.
Technique
This "combined design" technique has three main stages:
- Preliminary design and sketch
- Creating a three-dimensional volume with one type of handmade paste, which is made of some components and its thickness, roughness and softness can be changeable based on our model by changing the amount of paste components.
- Oil painting.
Strength and stability
- The paste, which was used in this method for making and forming the volumes, is solid and it has high strength without erosion.
- Due to the repetition of oil painting on the surface of those volumes given parts, and on canvas, the colors are long lasting and very persistent. During the ages, its quality will not be diminished.
- The final stabilizer oil will fix the colors and it will guarantee the lifetime and quality of the colors.
