About the Item

In Bravery (2022), Soudeh Davoud combines delicate floral symbolism with poignant social commentary. A lush bouquet of red and white blossoms—signifiers of courage and sacrifice—rests beside a single braid, evoking themes of defiance, femininity, and remembrance. Beneath the arrangement, a small vignette depicts a baton, a stark reminder of state violence and oppression. Part of Davoud’s Immortal Flowers series, this work reflects the artist’s ongoing engagement with protest iconography and collective memory. Rendered in coloured pencil on cardboard, the piece merges tenderness with resistance, offering a poetic meditation on the power of women’s voices in contemporary Iran.

Alchemical Season of Freedom - Paint by Parimah Avani - 2023
Located in Roma, IT
Alchemical Season of Freedom is a drawing realized by Iranian Painter and Poet Parimah Avani in 2023. Sumi, Persian ink, and acrylic on kraft paper. Hand-signed and dated. Excellent conditions. From the series "Resistance and Alchemical Metals" The artwork poetcally refers to the socio-political context, and the application of limited color of metals" various copper, gold, silver, bronze" have metaphorical features of alchemy. In this series artist took positions, and gestures of revolutionary and rebellious bodies on the battlefield of revolution and transformed them dynamically into precious sources of resistance by spiritual transitions of colors akin to alchemy, meat, and blood found their symbolic meaning through colors and expressive brushstrokes, metals here refer to bodies of freedom seekers, shapable, flexible, shiny and a source of strength, that highlights how a body becomes a battlefield, a golden source of sacrifice, a silver font of resistance, copper as blood and women fighting for freedom.  What makes this series unique: it is deeply behind the dynamic emotion of each gestural figure represented in a minimalistic manner, and the vigorous and unbridled energy of brushstrokes, as raw, spontaneous, and emotionally charged.  Her works in this series challenge oppression, torture, censorship, and gender-related issues themes by applying oriental brushstrokes of calligraphy in ink as a primary tool, to fragile subjects. She portrays her Eastern identity through materials and techniques as a fundament, adding layers to today's socio-political concerns.

Her book, "Magic Verses of Antalus," was a finalist for the prestigious "Shamlou" Award.
