“Concepts like compassion, justice, love and peace are not confined to a certain religion and all religions seek to expand these themes.” said Iraj Emami, in response of press room of the symposium. He further added: “there are many concepts which are not restricted to any religion and all religions have published them through their instructions. Compassion, peace and justice are among these themes.”
 He continued: “these themes are not restricted to a certain time limit or border. They are global issues which are understood by all human beings, and religions have been seeking to establish them. That’s why with a new prophet rising, former religious instructions never vanished, but were completed, and not only they were not denied by the new messenger, but also were confirmed. 
Regarding importance of art to establish religious instructions Dr. Emami said: “spirituality has always been expressed through arts. Art came to existence even before religions did, and many religions used art to serve as an instructive mean of religious concepts.”
He declared: “art has the capability of absorbing spirituality and transfer it to the expectator, and glorifies it with decency”.
The artist is a messenger of spirituality and initiator of expanding religious instructions in Emami’s point of view, he said: “art and religion are not apart and the artist, as the owner of spirituality, reflects them in his oeuvre in a conscious or unconscious manner.”
Emami who holds a PhD of plastic arts from Sorbonne university of Paris, pointed out the significant role of symposiums and events alike in exchanging experiences and adding art to religious concepts and said: “in such events each artist works with the group while depicting his/her own unique style, which leads to enrichment of experiences and the artists get to know each other’s art, while they can see how religious themes are expressed in different manners”.
