About the artwork
Cho Iran Nabashad combines Pahlavi Royal Family imagery with flowing Persian calligraphy in a contemporary heritage canvas. The familiar patriotic wording gives the composition an emotional connection to homeland, while the portrait imagery places that text within a modern Iranian historical context.
Heritage and Meaning
Drawing on the poetic tradition associated with Ferdowsi, Cho Iran Nabashad explores belonging, memory, and attachment to Iran through Persian text and portraiture.
Featured Persian lines:
چـو ایـران نباشد تن من مـبـاد
در این بوم و بر زنده یک تن مباد
Translation: If Iran should cease to be, may my body cease to be; / may not one soul remain alive in this land.
About this verse: This line is widely known in Iran as a verse from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, and that is how most people first learn it. Shahnameh scholars, however, have not found it in this form in any manuscript of the poem: the first half closely echoes a line from the story of Rostam and Sohrab, and the second half was added in the 20th century. We keep the familiar name in the title because that is how the line is known, and we share its history here so you know exactly what you are hanging.
Designed for Meaningful Spaces
Cho Iran Nabashad is well suited to a living room, office, study, entryway, reading area, or cultural feature wall. Its combination of calligraphy and portrait imagery works with contemporary rooms as well as interiors with Persian decorative accents, making it a meaningful choice for collectors connected to Iranian art and heritage.
