Although I have painted all my life, it was not until the turn of the century that I decided to pursue my art full time and develop my artistic skills. A new century, a new passion My inspiration comes from the textural qualities of landscape. Important to me are colours, composition, beauty, light and atmosphere that stimulate special emotions. By varying strokes and layering colours in an emotive fashion, I try to capture the unique transparency, depth and moods of the places I portray. My work is designed to challenge your perceptions of the real world, to draw you into the essence of the beauty which nature has to offer. I want to arouse in you a desire to be in places you have never been, awaken memories of places you have been to before. My art is also shaped by the richness of my Persian cultural background. In addition to semi-abstract landscapes and etchings, I create paintings based on a variety of subjects that reveal and reflect my Iranian heritage. I exhibit my work with two galleries in London and hold frequent group shows as well. Mandana Khonsari, October 2024 |
