Introducing one of our most captivating pieces: Tehran Sketch. This artwork is not just a simple illustration—it is a true blend of artistic vision and architectural passion. The initial lines of this design were created by hand, using traditional architectural sketching (esquisse) techniques. Every detail, from the curves to the perspective, was drawn with a free, expressive touch that captures the creative energy of a live sketch.
What truly brings this piece to life is the use of watercolour. Soft washes of color gently cover the sketch, adding depth, atmosphere, and a sense of vibrancy that digital art rarely captures. The combination of bold lines and delicate watercolor tones creates a unique balance between technical precision and artistic freedom.

The subject of this artwork is Azadi Square, formerly known as Shahyad Square, a historic and architectural icon located in the heart of Tehran. The Azadi Tower stands not just as a piece of modern architecture, but as a symbol of the city itself. Its design blends influences from traditional Persian architecture with modern forms, making it one of the most recognizable monuments in Iran.
This “Tehran Sketch” is part of a collection dedicated to architectural sketches, each offering a different perspective on the city’s landmarks and urban landscapes. Through this series, we aim to share the unique charm and artistic value of architectural sketching with a wider audience.

Every piece in this collection tells a story, and Azadi Tower, with its deep cultural and historical significance, has many stories to tell.
