Artist Statement
In my “The Songs of Love” series, I explore the profound connection between love and the ancient culture of Mithraism within Persian heritage. This series embodies my vision of ‘Re-Oriental,’ delving into the enduring power of love that transcends time and place, offering hope and reassurance.
Through Persian poetry, traditional music, and vibrant art, “The Songs of Love” weaves an eternal thread of love through history, spirituality, and emotion, casting a luminous spotlight on the spiritual and philosophical undercurrents of Mithraism. Drawing from traditional Persian miniatures, I breathe new life into age-old traditions, inviting viewers into a world where love harmoniously coexists with the spiritual depth of Mithraism.
Using symbolism and metaphors, I invite contemplation of the harmonious interplay of love and spirituality within Persian culture. This emphasis on the transformative power of love within Mithraism aims to inspire and enlighten the audience.
This series stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Persian culture, reconnecting us with its intricate threads and illuminating the path to love, wisdom, and spiritual enlightenment.
