Drawing from historical and fictional male archetypes, Morteza Khakshoor's work seeks to explore enduring themes in human behavior, focusing on their complexity and relatability.
Khakshoor reflects on characters like Pinocchio, arguing that they're not inherently bad, but rather represent the gray area of human nature, shaped by context and experience.
Morteza describes male archetypes as essential in his work, stemming from his Iranian upbringing, where societal norms led to a distinct exploration of masculinity.
The artist aims to develop semi-narrative imagery, portraying young men in mundane circumstances to highlight the universal complexities of their experiences.
