“I don’t often describe myself as surrealist, but I am aware that there are a lot of surrealist elements in my work…For me, exploring a space that cannot happen in real life is the interesting part. And also extracting images from my subconscious, which is important as a lot of my work deals with my memories and life experiences from home from Iran. I like to create spaces that float in between geographies and times, which I think gives the work a sense of surrealism.”

阿爾加萬 · 科斯拉維「我很少形容自己是超現實主義者，但我意識到自己的作品有很多超現實主義元素⋯⋯對我而言，探索現實中不可能存在的空間是很有趣的。此外，從潛意識抽取圖像也很重要，因為我有很多作品是關於我在家鄉伊朗的回憶和當地的生活經歷。我喜歡創造飄浮在各種土地和時刻之間的空間，我認為可以為作品注入超現實的感覺。」
