About the Item

The painting from Innocent collection of Ms. Alemeh Bagherian, portrays a young woman with a solemn, introspective expression against a bold red background. Her body is adorned with intricate Persian miniature art tattoos depicting various scenes and characters, lending a sense of storytelling and cultural depth. A mixture of emotions. This painting invites a deep, reflective engagement with themes of innocence, identity, and cultural expression. She says: "My work reflects the inner spirit of women, a rooted, courageous, creative soul... that all powerful women share. These women belong to every corner of the world. If one woman suffers in any part of the world, all women suffer, and if a powerful and successful woman is rewarded somewhere on Earth, all women everywhere rejoice. These effects are paradoxical, meaning these characters are portrayed as pure, innocent, with a halo of light over their heads, and sometimes wearing green clothing symbolizing purity. The concept of purity juxtaposed with nudity creates this paradox. Meanwhile, these women are veiled, meaning they are covered. That is, they are covered from head to toe with a miniature tattoos. The miniature symbolizes Persian traditions and culture.Every day, we face an internal struggle between good and evil. Both forces reside within us, sometimes one prevails over the other, and at other times, the reverse is true.In different situations, we all don masks to hide our true selves."

The separation of the beloved Mohammad Ariyaei 21st Century oustider Iranian art
By Mohammad Ariyaei
Located in Paris, FR
Acrylic paint on paper Hand-signed on the left « Here the barbaric or savage ceremonies of New Guinea take on the air of Rio carnival. Here the vitality bursts and the colors dance the jig while thundering. A charivari of African masks, children's drawings and neon colors invades the meticulously meshed backdrops with volcanic overflows. It seems that within a kindergarten class, merry feathered wizards have joined together to cover the canvas or the paper with totemic figures strewn with the most inventively unexpected graffiti, in a creative frenzy so bubbling that the anarchy that threat recovers as in spite of itself a semblance of balance. The graphic design performs an enveloping and virtuoso dance that passes from the most wisely academic exercise to the most exuberant and Dionysian lyrical expressionism. It's flamboyant, paroxysmal and wonderfully joyful. Should we detect here any influence of the spirit of "outsider art", today widespread worldwide? Perhaps, but then it is undeniable that the personal temperament of Mohammad ARIYAEI...
