Description:	"I have been building masks and puppets since 1996, and sculpting and drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I love creating visual art with almost every medium, but things like mask-making and puppetry are particularly fascinating to me as they bring art into that magical dimension of time and movement."

Description:	Bijan designs beautiful unique Venetian style masks, including Commedia dell'Arte, and Sculptural pieces treasured by collectors worldwide. The little shop in Piazza Pitti, by the Pitti Palace Museum in Florence, was originally that of Prof.Agostino Dessi/Alice le Maschere. No one can forget seeing the hundreds of shining gold, silver, and painted masks hanging from the walls and ceilings. While teaching maskmaking to UCLA drama students in Florence, Wendy Steen-Olsen discovered Bijan's incredible masks and wanted to make them available in the USA, and for mask lovers everywhere, so Florentine Masks was born. Masks are very collectible and many have fine drawings, etchings, and painting of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo etc.. See "Florentine Masks"

Description:	I began making masks in 1980. I have respected original traditions from the start. Even thou I have a wide range of types and decorations, from traditional carnival masks and italian comedy art, to modern art types, I personally prefer those traditionally meant for canival and a character representation. Besides the mask creations I have explored techniches and materials that allows me to experiment in a way that my work can be identified for it's personal recognisable style.

Description:	Director, Actor, Maskmaker " I began working as a sculptor by making masks for theatre productions. I have since explored many other subjects but I always come back to sculpting faces and masks. Faces are the most fascinating subjects for me. A face can be exaggerated, distorted or reduced to it's simplest form and still be recognizable. When you are sculpting a face you are speaking in a visual language that everyone on the planet can understand. Simply by changing the tilt of an eyebrow I can change the feeling of a mask "

Description:	puppeteer, mask-maker and performer. "Artist Statement I am a puppeteer. Which is to say, I lend life to inanimate objects. The objects may be as small as a finger or as long as a city block; they may be an elaborately carved wooden mask, ritually cleansed and prepared for performance, or they may be everyday objects, a hammer, a ball, my shoe. Giving an object breath, sight, emotions, a story is a powerful act of transformation which nudges the audience to a very different place inside themselves which is at once strange and familiar. Puppetry is sculpture in motion, dance with a story, music and poetry illustrated. When I say I am a puppeteer, I honor the traditions of puppet and mask theater all over the world, used by shamans, priests, clowns, farmers, who lead their audiences across the threshold between worlds -- the birth and the very reason for theater. Specifically, I honor Korean Mask Dance, Japanese Bunraku and Kabuki, Balinese Shadow Puppetry and Mask Dance, European Clowning, and the American convergence of puppetry, pageantry, and politics in Bread and Puppet Theater, San Francisco Mime Troupe, and In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre. These are my teachers, my inspirations, and my colleagues. "
