Inspiration Born from Calculation
The art documentary Image as an Image, directed by Reza Yasini and featuring artist Arash Ahmadi, takes the viewer on a profound journey into the creativity and unique vision of this contemporary artist. The film traces the development of Arash Ahmadi’s visual language—from his earliest experiments in figurative painting to his fascination with geometric forms and volumes—where precise calculations, bold color choices, and everyday inspirations come together. In this documentary, the audience discovers the artist’s influences, from Malevich, Greenberg, and Haraguchi to Gerhard Richter, and witnesses the process of creating works that achieve striking and precise forms through the use of tools such as tape, rulers, stencils, and meticulous techniques. Image as an Image reveals how art can emerge from exact calculations, simple shapes, and elements of daily life—from electronic circuit boards and the laws of physics to a small palette of colors.
