This artwork, crafted within a 14x10 cm inner frame and housed in a 27x22 cm outer frame, explores the depths of Iranian mythology and folklore, utilizing a unique blend of illustration, drawing, and collagraph printing. The focal point of the piece is a vivid crimson-red shape, textured and layered to evoke a sense of vitality against a muted background. The deep red contrasts sharply with surrounding elements, drawing the viewer’s eye immediately to its dynamic presence.
In contrast, a bold black section anchors the composition, balancing the intensity of the red while adding a sense of mystery. Fine, expressive lines are drawn across the surface, suggestive of movement and form without strictly delineating it, allowing space for interpretation and imagination. The techniques of illustration and collagraph print merge seamlessly on watercolor-textured cardstock, adding depth and a tactile quality to the piece.
This work embodies both a contemporary exploration and a reverent nod to mythological themes, inviting viewers into an abstract yet familiar space filled with echoes of ancient stories and figures.
