President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said paying attention to human perfection and justice shapes the essence of the identity of human art.

In a message to 'International Conference on Prophetic Art' which is being held in Isfahan, the president said looking at art and culture from a religious point of view is a strategic necessity adding all the divine prophets have guided human beings to a divine path which ultimately leads to absolute perfection and beauty.

President Ahmadinejad also said the prophets have called human beings to administering justice which is the pillar of the universe and religion. Therefore, paying attention to these two basic elements, i.e. human perfection and justice shapes the essence of the identity of human art.

The president went on to say Iranians have always been God worshipers and have had affectionate hearts adding Iranian identity has lived and grown up on the basis of prophetic teachings and still as many undiscovered horizons. So, more efforts on the issue of "art research" along with creation of new artistic works is an immediate need.
