Farshad-Yekta, who is a friend of the master, called him a modest intellectual.

He said that the portrait of a woman has reached a state of exaltation in Jamalpur’s works, adding, “The eyes are the mirror of spirit, which is the symbol of all women in the world. Master Jamalpur has skillfully portrayed this beauty of women and the creation in his works”.

Master Aqamiri next continued that Jamalpur has reached the state of love in all his works.

“Women have always been recognized as a medium between the earth and the heaven, and this attitude reveals the manifestation of woman in the master’s paintings,” Rajabi Davani concluded.
