Would be available for shipping from September 4th On this ready to hang gallery canvas , This work draws upon the timeless romance of Shirin and Farhad, where love transcends distance, hardship, and earthly limitation. The fragmented textures and deep layers of color evoke the mountain Farhad carved in devotion to Shirin—a landscape shaped by longing, perseverance, and faith. The calligraphic passages emerge like echoes from memory, carrying fragments of a story that has traveled through centuries of Persian poetry. Blues and dark tones suggest the vast interior world of yearning and contemplation, while the flashes of crimson symbolize passion, sacrifice, and the transformative power of love. Rather than illustrating the narrative directly, the painting seeks to embody its spiritual essence: love as a creative force capable of reshaping both the world and the self. The surface becomes a meeting place between myth and memory, where Farhad's devotion and Shirin's beauty are transformed into symbols of endurance, hope, and transcendence. In the tradition of Persian symbolism, the journey of the lovers is also the journey of the soul—moving through trials toward unity, wisdom, and illumination. Persian/Canadian Painter born in Tehran, currently living in Florence, Italy. Permanent artist in gallery- Bologna Award-winning artist, in national and international contests, artworks published in important Italian ( such as reviews & articles on national newspapers, catalogo della arte moderna vol 50, 53,54,55) and Persian catalogues. My artworks are mostly inspired by ancient Persian poetry. They are very expressive and carry oriental art. My original creations are mostly made of acrylic, oil and mixed media. Acrylic helps a lot with the texture I use. I mix it with oil sometimes for its brightness. I am an artist and I consider myself a storyteller too. I am the link to Persian tradition in a completely contemporary way. I want to preserve its lyrical depth and introspective ability. I consider the artistic research an introspective analysis. When I paint figures come to the surface as from a mystic vision. Beauty reveals itself in symbolic shapes. They find a place on the canvas and remind the viewer about the importance of feelings.
