Painting, as a powerful medium, can depict concepts beyond words. Understanding the observations of near-death experiencers presents a challenge in this field. Raymond Moody formulated a model based on the similarities of near-death experiences, which encompasses common themes such as out-of-body experiences, passage through a tunnel, a sense of stillness and peace, encountering a luminous being, and entering a transcendent realm. Painting can serve as a medium to represent these metaphysical experiences. Mahmoud Farshchian is among the artists whose works reflect celestial and spiritual themes. As a child, he survived a near-drowning incident, an event he later claimed influenced his artistic vision. Using surrealistic symbols, undulating and radiant colors aimed at representing the spectrum of light, meticulous attention to detail, and unique compositions, Farshchian creates a space that transports the viewer beyond tangible reality. These artistic characteristics closely align with the descriptions of near-death experiencers as outlined in Moody’s model. To understand the manifestations of near-death experiencers’ observations in Farshchian’s works based on Moody’s perspective. The question is: What aspects of near-death experiencers’ observations are reflected in Farshchian’s artworks? This study employs a descriptive-analytical-comparative approach, with data collected through library research. Farshchian, through circular compositions, fluid colors, and intricate details, creates a transcendent and dreamlike atmosphere that resonates with the characteristics of near-death experiences. This research confirms that art can serve as a bridge between the material world and metaphysical experiences.
