The minds, which shot by shot of the meanings- hidden or visible, in the middle of nowhere leading to a path of a man’s resentment. The minds, burn in such a way a phoenix does, turn in black, perish, born, become light, spread their wings, become human, become animals, become lust, become souls, and excel…??! Navid Bijani's recent paintings convey all these questions to the viewer in constant doubt, and it is through these interpretations that these paintings become more powerful. He has been painting the minds with this trick for so long, each time in a novel manner. After any transition period, he goes after the "mind" under any pretext, and each time he connects the mind with an idea of its biological context and achieves a new interpretation of the mind or self. If he used to stand in front of the white canvas before to create something new through the intuitive mechanism, today he would less face with such an intuitive approach. He starts his work by processing an idea. Deals with the initial raw idea to be translated into a painting object in the final stage; Whatever it might be, a figurative image or an abstract mind-art! In this style of painting, he emphasizes the release of inner energy in a controlled and directed manner. It is as if it is considered a way to meditate and takes on an easy and restrained state. Bijani is one of the artists who tries to present a psychoanalytic and philosophical analysis of human beings through his works. He, who in his works, cleverly deals with the concept of human self-criticism, uses beautifully humor mixed with exaggeration in the underlying layers of meaning, in this painterly storytelling.; Surreal minds …a combination of human-animal… His works tend to a kind of minimalism and also with a glance at the surface and range ... These works are freed from the dominance of colors and try to show textures and protrusions and depressions that are sometimes a representation of textures and components added to the surface of the paper and sometimes thin and small reliefs that are uniform on paper and destroy the canvas. Should these signs be sought in another world? The answer is obvious: each of these signs refers to something beyond - the text of the image ... to a world beyond! A world that is not found in ordinary atlases and that is basically possible to understand outside of the micro-wisdom
