well, Iam going to share my feeling about my culture with you. Maybe I can interest you in it.First, I would like to say that Iam an Iranian Artist and I am proud about it.Because my land has more than 7000 years background.I live in a country that is ancient. My culture is full of things that I can learn and use it in my paintings.Before revolution our goverment was tried to show our culture in the world.But after that we would get involved with somethings that are rubbish.After revolution most of people in around the world think that Iranian people are Arab. But It is a mistake. we aren't Arab.Our race is different.we are Aria the same as German people.When Islam entered to Iran in SASANIAN period. we had to change our religion.Before Islam our religion was ZOROASTRIAN.Then Islam have mixed with it.There are beautiful place that belongs to that era.one of the place is SHOSHE DANIAL in South of Iran.It is a temple that belongs to ancient people in old Iran.and one of a favorite place for tourists.Actually,If you can visit in Iran somedays , Iam sure you enjoy there.

I bet it is fascinating to live in a society so steeped in history.
