Sabzi's subjects are almost always women.  Beautiful, graceful, taciturn and lugubrious, they reflect solitude. His women are madonnas, modern goddesses, and martyred saints whose elongated forms suggest instability and internal conflict. Their anonymous faces transform them into religious icons that transcend and defy the demands of reality. Yet, other paintings reflect warmth, charm, gayety, happiness, and his undisputed love and admiration for women.

Sabzi's paintings resonate both Eastern and Western philosophies. His rich Persian heritage provides him with ancient images and sentimental Persian themes and memories of innocence. The Western source of influences comes from one of the most creative moments of modernism of Cézanne and Matisse.  In addition to original oils paintings by this respected artist, carmen's gallery also offers his giclees and serigraphs.  In contrast to the muted colors of his earlier work, Sabzi's newest paintings are more colorful and abstract.  We at carmen's keep seeing the response to this artist continue to grow.
