About me
What is my story?
If you’d like to know a little more about me and my world, continue reading this text.
I am Heevazh.
I am approaching forty and have recently become a father. For over 20 years, I have lived with art and poetry. I can say that rather than art and poetry being on the sidelines of my life, it is my life that is on the sidelines of poetry and art.
I have one published poetry collection and six more ready to be published. My poems are modern and sometimes postmodern. And just as I am interested in minimalism in art, I also have minimal and short poems in my writings. To be honest with you about myself, I’m going to put a few of my minimal poems here, and then I’ll move on to the world of NFTs and art. Because a part of my personality has been shaped by my poetry and writings about art. And I have articles in Persian in this field that I’ll try to put some of them on this website over time.
Three short poems by Heevazh:
First Poem:
Everything is just fine in my country
Jean Valjean in my eyes
Cosette on your lips
Second Poem:
My father wasn’t, isn’t, will never be
My mother
downloaded me from the internet
Third Poem:
The Artificial intelligence
has put her breast in your mouth
and is pushing you back and forth
to anticipate your Truth
Why am I interested in NFTs?
My interest in the digital world and the internet, on the one hand, and my love for painting and colors, on the other hand, led me to digital art and graphic design. I’ve been working as a freelancer in this field for over five years
For me, the essence of art is more important than its identity. Whether a work of art is painted on a canvas or on a digital screen doesn’t matter. What matters is the essence of art, what identity it takes in each era, and what tools are used to create it is just the outer shell of art. Once, primitive humans depicted what was in their minds on cave walls, and then, in the last few hundred years, on canvases, and now, with the help of the digital world, they show their works of art on a digital screen. It goes without saying that accepting many of the concepts and definitions of the digital age and media is very difficult for people who still live in McLuhan’s Gutenberg era.
But why did I become interested in NFTs?
In fact, this interest of mine goes back to Web 2 and then Web 3, cryptocurrency, and the things that can be done on the blockchain. In fact, my entry into the world of NFTs was due to my interest in these concepts.
And of course, the fact that in the digital world there is a modern structure where people can permanently maintain ownership of their digital assets or give them to others.
Of course, my entry into the world of NFTs could have happened much sooner, about three or four years ago, but for personal reasons, it was delayed each time.
What made me start this NFT collection? This is my first NFT collection, which I designed in a minimalist style, and I tried to consider individual creativity for my works. My works are mostly personal, and I am interested in modern styles such as Cubism, Neo-Expressionism, and Minimalism, and I usually do each project in one style and method. Sometimes I also do works in a combination of styles and mixes.
But what made these minimalist designs my first NFT collection? In fact, it goes back to my personal definition of art and the second definition of art when it comes to the digital world. Minimalism is the art of understanding enough of everything, and minimalists, by removing unnecessary details and focusing on simple forms, have shown that to create a strong work of art, you don’t necessarily need complexity and decorations. The discussion of concept and the discussion of environment are also important in this regard. Minimalism, as a conceptual art, helped artists to focus on the ideas and concepts embedded in their works, rather than focusing on the physical appearance of works of art. And on the other hand, there is the issue of the environment. Minimalism helped artists to pay more attention to their surroundings and create works of art in relation to the environment. You must be familiar with the book “Digital Minimalism” by Cal Newport.
A book that seeks to find a focused life in a busy world. I also wanted my first collection of world celebrities in a minimalist style to be a kind of summary of an artistic situation in the digital world. And why are my designs portraits of celebrities and based on photos taken of them?
If I wanted to, like hyper-realistic style, depict the portraits that are inside each photo as they are, I wouldn’t have done any special artistic work.
The goal of art is not to walk from point A to point B. The goal of art is like dancing. It’s true that we both start moving with our feet, but in dance, the goal is the dance itself.
My goal is also like dancing, to express another art form. That is, to interfere with the real form and what I perceive of that particular moment. In my opinion, presenting a new concept or idea is an inherent feature of art.
Which leads to the dynamism and creativity of works of art. Whenever a style is repeated, it is the existence of new ideas that creates other styles and contributes to the dynamism of art.
The “Roots” sub-collection is inspired by celebrities, and all NFTs have only one unique version.
In the “Fusion” sub-collection, I have created new and unique NFTs that can be a combination of one or more NFTs or collages, derived from the primary elements in the designs of the “Roots” and “Imagination” sub-collections.
The third sub-collection, called “Imagination,” is inspired by imaginary celebrities in the world of art, cinema, and literature, and all NFTs in this collection have only one unique version

I’m one of the few people in the world who has created their own artistic name based on the etymology of Indo-European languages. While I won’t get into the specifics here, it’s sufficient to say that I’m the only person with the name “Heevazh.”
