“The Lovely Lady Iraneh”

“The Lovely Lady Iraneh” series is directly related to how we see the surrounding landscapes: From the north to the south and from the east to the west of Iran, representing landscapes and historical sites, viewing and feeling the scenes with pure and simple colors and forms, giving warmth to the desert in the Shazdeh Mahan Garden with cadmium yellow and the cool of water in the hot Hormoz with the cold turquoise, translates Iran into the language of colors, feeling the scenery in a more colorful way, climbing the cadmium red deep stairs of the Rudkhan Castle, and crossing the Veresk Bridge. “The Jolfa Road” is the beginning of the journey to “The Lovely Lady Iraneh.” Landscapes come into view one after the other, each one demanding to be seen and read all over again.
