New Hand-painted Persian Carpets By Jason Seife

WORDS Mary Garner

Miami-based artist Jason Seife, previously featured here, paints intricate and ornate patterns normally seen on traditional Persian rugs.

Persian rugs are distinguished by each rug’s palette, style and pattern, representing various tribes in separate geographical locations. He uses the same geometric symmetry found in centuries-old designs, adding his own twist by changing the colours of the acrylic paint and ink with each piece.

Jason was drawn to the imagery and rich history behind the patterns and emulates it by having each piece reflect his thought process. The tones he uses aren’t traditionally associated with heavy textiles, instead they exhibit a personal flair, reflecting his mood and state of mind.
