Goose on Fire Painting

I was born in Tabriz, Iran, in 1970, and my journey with art began the moment I first held a pencil in my hand. As a female painter in Iran, I faced challenges in establishing my presence in the art world. However, my passion for art led me to start teaching at the Iranian Red Crescent Society when I was just 20 years old. Upon relocating to Turkey, I found a renewed focus on my art, allowing me to express myself more authentically. My fascination with old Persian motifs and historical symbols deeply influences my work, leaving a distinctive mark on my artistic creations. For me, painting is not just a skill; it is a means of expressing my emotions, and colors serve as the purest forms of my inner feelings. My portrait works, in particular, emerge from a profound connection with the character of my subjects. Through these portraits, my art engages in a dialogue, speaking both about myself and the very essence of the subject.
