Sia Aryai defines beauty in his pieces. As he explains, “[t]his is the moment -- today, tomorrow or yesterday -- when innocence opens a window to eternity.” Aryai prints on painted, water-color paper to begin his aesthetic. But even though his images present the color, the shape and other outward features, it is the personality and spirit, the gestures and passion, and the overall inward sentiments that are apparent. Aryai causes us to witness the actual soul and humanity, a timeless quality, and stresses that there is more to see than ones’ first glance. In describing Aryai’s pieces, Gil Garcetti remarked, “we who love the magic of photographs are compelled to own and display photographs- photographs that somehow stop us, linger with us, emote feelings unique in our daily lives, and demand that we thank the artist.”
