Abstract

Unique character dissimilarities are the invisible curtains behind the creation of works of art, which, of course, trace the origin of the creation of each work of art in this hidden dimension of the process of artistic emergence. Therefore, the inner self of each person, both positively and negatively, influences the creation of artists' works. The question that can be raised here is how the psychological components are reflected in the works of painters. In the meantime, an investigation on the art of artists such as Nikzad Nojoomi and Ali Akbar Sadeghi, who in the current period of popular artistic currents, try to express their psychological inner selves through visual language is necessary. In this research, accomplished descriptively and analytically using the library method, five samples of the paintings of each artist have been explored by selective sampling method and qualitatively analyzed information. The findings of the research indicate that the works of Nikzad Nojomi and Ali Akbar Sadeghi, which in a way strengthen the audience's mental abilities to understand the concepts and inner beliefs of the artist, are an interpretation of the psychological components in the works of these two artists. The results explain the importance of discussing the psychological components of artists and their artistic concepts, especially the works of visual artists, which is a tangible reflection of the hidden layers of their personality.
Research aims:
1. A study of the psychological components of the audience's mental ability in interpreting the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi.
2. An analysis on the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi according to a psychological point of view.
Research questions:
1. Considering the application of psychological components in art, how can the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi be interpreted and analyzed?
2. Which of the psychological components has more colorful effects in the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi?
