About the Artwork:
Collection: Self Portrait
Marzieh started painting portraits from herself, tried to convey her feelings in her works. In her own words: “Of course there were good days vs. bad days, happy days vs. sad days, and they directly affected my portraits. I was getting more and more interested in this when I noticed that the colours, techniques and even characters in the portraits are evolving over time. I reached to a point where I could not create two similar portraits!”
Marzieh then started to do portraits from her friends while she was interacting with them in workshops and this time she absorbed their feelings and moods and reflected them into her artworks which resulted in Friends’ Portrait collection. However, there was one problem, people often didn’t like to see their faces ugly, scary or deformed despite seeing what she had done to her own face in her self-portraits. Marzieh felt they don’t like their portraits, so she decided to get back to her initial enthusiasm and carry on with her Self-Portrait collection.
