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.

Miami-based artist Jason Seife paints the patterns of traditional Persian carpets onto canvas.

Using a mixture of ink and acrylic, he transforms these original works into something modern, reinventing and interpreting historical movements.

These incredibly detailed paintings portray the symbolism of geometric shapes, flora and graphic imagery used in the original carpets, with a few contemporary adaptations thrown in to convey Seife’s emotional state while painting.

Seife was diagnosed as colourblind as a child and adds unconventional colours to his Persian carpet paintings, not usually associated with the tapestries.
