Report  by Ahmad Nadalian, RiverArt

In August 2008. the 18th Environmental Art Festival was held at Paradise Art Center in Iran. During the festival, I also used red earth from Hormoz in Persian Gulf and made new painting on portraits of artists. For me symbolism of snake and its contradictory interpretations in different cultures is very interesting.  In the one hand snake is a symbol for eternity and treasure and on the other hand related to the story of Adam and Eve in heaven.
