Iranian Myths and Demons 11

This artwork, measuring 12x10 cm within a 20x22 cm frame, is a nuanced piece created through illustration, drawing, and collagraph printing on high-quality watercolor cardboard. The composition exudes a subtle yet powerful presence, utilizing a muted grayscale palette as the primary tonal foundation. Delicate, expressive linework captures the essence of mythological and demonic figures from Iranian lore, blending them into a semi-abstract, layered background. This layering effect, combined with the intentional roughness of the collagraph print, gives the piece a textured depth and a tactile quality. Touches of vibrant color—deep crimson and bright yellow—are strategically added to draw attention to specific sections, offering a stark contrast against the softer grayscale. These colors, both warm and intense, evoke a sense of energy and emotion, bringing a modern edge to the traditional subject matter. The careful blending of these hues enhances the atmospheric tension within the composition, inviting viewers into a space where ancient myths and contemporary artistry converge.
