My creations come to life on Gesso boards or framed wooden painting panels, where It breathe vibrancy into each drop with acrylic paint. The final touch is a resin overlay, which enhances and illuminates the colors making them dance with brilliance and vitality. My paintings are a dance of contemporary and modern style, infused with the hues of nature. Each piece is a vessel of energy, capturing the essence of the world around us. I invite my audience to immerse themselves in this energy, letting their imagination roam free to interpret and find meaning in what they see.

Farhad Naimy trained professionally as an engineer and later brought his passion for architecture, design and creative use of space to his custom-built multi-million-dollar homes that now span across the landscape in San Francisco and other cities throughout the Pacific Northwest. His love of the Eastern Tennessee mountains and his family brought him back to Knoxville where he draws from his international experiences of a lifetime to create art. Naimy is captivated with Fluid Art because of his deep connection to nature and color. In both there is infinite variety, and like love, infinite expressions. No matter how many techniques he masters or visions he creates, there is always an element of chance, change and surprise to Fluid Art.
