Partin Bastan

From an early age, I was very interested in painting and handicrafts, and with my mother's encouragement, I drew my thoughts on paper. From the age of five until I was a teenager I learned blacksmithing from my father, and even after many years, I still benefit from the experiences of that time in my profession (sculpture). As a child, I was very interested in the environment and animals, and I made a collection of bird and fish bones for myself. From an early age, I was interested in the anatomy and body structures of living things, and I read books on paleontology and zoology with great pleasure and wonder. My interest in biology and paleontology has been very effective in making my characters and ideas. Over time, I became proficient in recording my mindset as drawing on paper and then executing it as a volume. I am a self-taught artist and have not been academically trained. Before making any sculpture, I do a lot of research on the character of my sculptures in order to establish a deep connection with my work and give spirit and feeling to my artworks.
