Produced during the artist’s time at the Roswell Artist-in-Residence program, this work was created in collaboration with Maxwell Roath and Emery Spina from The Tamarind Institute, an internationally renowned center for fine art lithography. Nabavi begins by meticulously etching his geometric composition onto a limestone block coated with gum arabic, using a diamond-tipped scribe—a slow, exacting process that demands intense focus. The print is then produced through traditional lithography, with subtle colour gradients achieved by carefully layering ink using rollers. Each stage of the process is time-consuming and deeply manual.
Born in Iran in 1978, Nima Nabavi is a self-taught Iranian-American artist who was raised in the United Arab Emirates. Even though he received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Business and was an independent business owner for 20 years – he unexpectedly changed paths in 2016 inspired by the geometric art of his late grandfather. He is now based in Dubai, where he dedicates himself to an art practice driven by a mathematical approach and a contemplative execution of intricate geometries.
