View DetailsMaster Mohsen Kaveh
Mohsen Kaveh, a first-degree visual artist, has dedicated more than two decades to reviving the art of wood marquetry. His works blend engineering precision with the spirit of painting — each veneer like a natural brushstroke of colour and grain.
By inventing the Zarif-Negareh technique, he made unprecedented detail possible in marquetry — a achievement celebrated at national and international festivals, including the IRSICA award.
The art of wood marquetry
Marquetry is the art of creating an image from pieces of natural wood. No paint — only the variety of grain and colour in different woods forms a living, lasting picture.
Design & wood selection
The design is drawn and for each area a veneer with matching colour and grain is chosen.
Fine cutting
Pieces are cut with a fretsaw, hair by hair, so they fit exactly side by side.
Assembly & glue
Pieces are laid like a wooden puzzle and fixed onto the ground surface.
Finish & oil
The surface is sanded and oiled so the natural grain shines and endures.
