Art Speak

Last Sunday the other interns and I headed to Ala Ebtekar's studio for tasty treats and a conversation with the artist! Before we got there, I was pretty nervous. I'd never been to an artists studio before. However, I was surprised to find Ala Ebtekar's studio to be extremely comfortable and neat (He doesn't think it is, but it sure is a lot cleaner than my room!), and I had a great time drinking matcha while listening to his stories.

Ebtekar's art is unique in the fact that it has so much detail. From far away, it's impossible to see the complexity of his designs. But from up close, the detail never seems to end. I'm completely mesmerized by the intricacy of his artwork, it's the epitome of sublime craftsmanship.

One thing about me, is I'm a big fan of shoes. I get it from my dad, and I can't resist a nice pair of sneakers. What I found extremely cool was the fact that he had Adidas shoes customized to have unique laces with beautiful patterns. I found an image on Google, which I have to show, well, because it's beautiful.


I had a great time as usual. Also, if you're reading this Mr. Ebtekar, thanks for letting us come to your studio! I liked it a lot.
