But the cost of these wars is not only money. Many innocent people lost their life.
On the 26th of January 2008, fifty artists accompanied me and we traveled to the Persian Gulf (Hormoz Island). More than 50 local artists joined us and we realized a new environmental art event. Our new environmental art festival focused on a campaign against war. I was responsible to select artists and act as an art director. So far, I was responsible for 15 environmental art festivals in Iran. There were many more event and projects.
Thanks go to my international friends Barbara Roux and Abigail Doan from the USA, Sibyll Kalff from Germany, who support us, share their experience and sent their designs. Works by Eric Van Hove and Richard Thomas inspired us to create typography and pattern in nature. British artist Benjamin Hewett, who is now in Iran, joined involved collaborative art projects with us.
In the past two years (2007 – 2008) there has been a great demand for environmental art in Iran. Many young artists from different parts of Iran invite me to be part of different environmental events and realize their art works in nature. They are many and I can not have all of them in one occasion, but I have been pleased to organize different events and respond to this essent

Environmental Art
His River Art project is on site environmental sculpture and as interactive as one can get. This place for sculpture has become a sculpture garden you walk through and where nature’s forms, topography, and the river itself become a living canvas in three dimensions. The artist’s interventions are modest, and reflect on ancient historical symbols drawn from Persian culture. With his carving in natural sites, Nadalian has worked in a living ecology to create environmental sculptures that never dominate their surrounds.
As Nadalian says, “When I work in a natural setting, I try to preserve nature as a whole, to make as few overall and overarching changes as possible. This may be seen as respect for the beauties of nature. But this is also how the carvings gain their rough-hewn texture, and there is a harmony between the carved rock and its surroundings.
