Morteza Khakshoor emphasizes the significance of form over color in his artistic process. His latest online exhibit, 'Diving Into Oblivion,' showcases a series of haunting works on paper that delve into themes of selfhood and psychological tension, characterized by fragmented narratives. Though the color palette is darker than his previous works, it adds a personal layer of complexity. Each piece stands alone yet connects to a broader narrative, highlighting the intricacies of individual experience while showcasing Khakshoor's evolution as an Iranian-born painter.

Diving Into Oblivion is a haunting new series of works on paper that explore the complexities of selfhood, psychological tension, and the past, through fragmented narratives and dreamlike figures.
