The Destiny 1980

"The Destiny" (1980) by Morteza Katouzian is a surrealist painting depicting a line of figures walking towards a knife that seems to be piercing through the canvas. The figures are semi-transparent and are rendered in muted tones, creating an eerie and haunting atmosphere. The artwork suggests a sense of impending doom and the inevitable nature of fate, prompting viewers to consider the fragility of life and the uncertainty of the future. Katouzian's work often explored themes of social commentary, political unrest, and the human condition, and "The Destiny" exemplifies these recurring motifs.
