Farzad Golpayegani: The Space Between Music and Art
“Welcome to a place where art and music sing in perfect harmony. This is a space that has largely been looked over by many creatives over the years. Not many visual artists or musicians venture here often. Usually, creatives are in one artistic camp or the other, but rarely both. However, Farzad Golpayegani is changing this standard. With his trusty 7-string guitar by his side and his surreal creations inhabiting his imagination, Farzad is laying the foundations to bridge the gap between these art forms in a space between music and art.”
