Also speaking at the event, Razieh Yasini, Deputy of Research at the Foundation, pointed out the brilliant history of Armenians in Iran and considered Armenian compatriots to be hardworking in the field of culture and art.
Yaghoubi worked in the context of the rise of modern art in Iran, while his art shows the effects of Iranian culture and the atmosphere in which he grew up. “His paintings represent the important events of Iran's history such as the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, as well as Iran's culture, art and architecture, although gradually his style tends to abstraction and moves away from naturalism,” Yasini noted.
