[edit] Style
Haydar Hatemi's miniatures are in classical Persian tradition of the sixteenth century Herat School and are exceptional in their breathtaking attention to detail. Mr. Hatemi's artistic versatility is evident in his more three-dimensional, tonal works. In these, the perfectionism of a true miniaturist is masterfully combined with a realist's appreciation of color, form and perspective.

[edit] Paintings
Early in his career, Haydar Hatemi took great interest in the Tezhip technique and miniature paintings in particular. His main goal to apply his style to Ottoman Empire theme was very well received by the Turkish art scene. His admiration for miniature masters and his desire to apply this to a newer subjects lead to the creation of his "Stories of the Messengers" series in the early 2003 which became his most celebrated and famous series. In these series, Hatemi depicts stories of messengers which are common to Quran, Bible and Torah.
He also paints scenes of old Istanbul which was commissioned by the royal family of Qatar. Istanbul&Istanbul series are the best example for this technique.
