Behind the Curtain

Behind the Curtain is a stunning painting created using watercolor and enhanced with fine liner in the Line and Wash technique. This artwork portrays a serene and captivating view of the Jameh Mosque of Qazvin, skillfully illustrating the elegance of traditional Iranian architecture through delicate lines and soft washes of color. The composition guides the viewer into a traditional hallway, leading to a beautifully intricate stained-glass window at the end. The light filtering through the colorful glass panes projects vibrant hues of blue, red, yellow, and green onto the patterned floor, creating an ethereal atmosphere. This play of light adds a sense of movement and life to the otherwise still and historic space. The floor is adorned with intricate floral and arabesque patterns, inspired by classic Persian tilework. These decorative details add richness and depth to the composition while celebrating the heritage of Iranian artistry. The aged wooden doors flanking the corridor, with their natural textures and warm tones, further emphasize the historical authenticity of the setting...
