Mr. Mohammad Karami was born an artistic family in 1930 in Golpaygan (a township of the province of Isfehan in IRAN.) His family had along-artistic background in Wood Sculpture, inlaid wood and embossed works, from father to son. His father Hossein Karami passed away when he was only two years old. Then his mother took after him and his two siblings (one sister and one brother.) Later on when his mother died, his elder brother took after them. He registered him in Ferdowsi elementary school in Golpaygan. He studied till grade 11 and then due to the financial problem he had to drop school. Later on because of his remarkable talent he got hired at educational services as a teacher for artistic course, but he didn't give up his studies and besides teaching at school he studied at the teacher's college of that time and succeeds to get the certificate of primary degree from that college. Since he was very interested in music, he started to play violin. In a very short time he learned all melodies. Although playing violin satiated his thirsty spirit for art, was not good enough to make him totally satisfied. An artist is always looking for perfection and there is no border to stop him/her of that goal. Mr. Karami hasn't been an exception. This is so obvious from his words and emotions when he talks about the memories of his youth and also through all the stuffs decorated his pleasant home with. You may find all artistic works from; inlaid work to embossments to wood sculpture works, to glass blowing, to calligraphy and painting and even to dried desert flowers, wild thistles and river stones which had been decorated by the natural events. All these show his deep and sharp look to the art, although he basically talks a little about these, those endowed with knowledge and arts, will find it through the angle of his sight. Pain and sorrow of the people around him from one hand and his artistic spirit from the other hand put him in away which ended to create his artistic works. His sympathy with afflicted people made him find a way to record his emotions and effects. In that time, he found painting as the best way to express his feelings. There was neither a teacher nor enough facilities and he just leaned on his will and opened a new window in his life, then with on extraordinary effort drew his words. Most of his works focused on the life of local people in Golpaygan and the villages around it with their natural views. I should call him a smart hunter as he drew moments in a way you are able to feel the same time of drawing. As an example in one of his works called "after rain in jungle" you can smell the humidity in the air and feel the wet ground. He shows the serenity of environments and the purity of people's hearts in his works clearly. It is necessary to say that in all those days he lived on his low income from teaching and provided all his essential instruments with his low money. Still he is not happy with the expensive painting instruments that he has to buy and he hardly provided them. Although he has overcome many difficulties in his life, he has never had any malevolence for any one or any thing and this shows the eminence of his pure and gentle spirit. One of his remarkable characteristics is that he always knows painting as an art and not a way to earn money and still he lives on his retirement income from teaching. According to him he has never sold any of his art works and keep them all as if he takes care of his children, since each one reminds him of one moment of his life. There is no exact / accurate statistics for his works but his works on different techniques and subjects are about one thousand. He basically focuses on Oil-painting more, although we can see Water-color, Black and white-pencil, Color-pencil, Pastel and so in his works. With sincerity Mr. Mohammad Karami says: "I'm happy with my life and I don't need any body except God." Mr. Mohammad Karami is involved with Iran and his city; Golpaygan and he is proud of that. He is very interested in nature and spends most of his time on drawing the beautiful nature around his place of living, Golpaygan. He had been a painting teacher in Golpaygan for over ten years and most of the educated people and students known him well. They always put his name in the artists of his territory proudly.
