Khiman Sangtarash

Khiman Sangtarash is a Mughal Painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Khiman Sangtarash kept painting the same three cypress trees over and over, like a writer stuck on a favorite sentence. You’ll spot it right away—the tallest tree leans left, the middle one bows right, the short one stands straight, all inked in quick black lines that look like they were drawn in one breath. These spare trees show up in every album he made, from Isfahan to Istanbul. Tap any page and you’ll see why: the trees keep changing moods, from confident to lonely, without ever leaving the same spot.
