Style

Haydar Hatemi's miniatures are in classical Persian tradition of the sixteenth century Herat School and are exceptional in their breathtaking attention to detail. Mr. Hatemi's artistic versatility is evident in his more three-dimensional, tonal works. In these, the perfectionism of a true miniaturist is masterfully combined with a realist's appreciation of color, form and perspective.
