More About Effat Pourhasani

Question Icon What inspires you?

The inspiration of works come from nature and Persian culture which believes that images of the trees are symbolizing the freedom and integrity. It was thought that the essence of the tree carries the trustfulness, so anyone who breath in the scent of the tree could not be deceitful in its presence.

Question Icon Describe your creative process.

In my paintings I'm not interested in mimicking the nature but I combine it with the inner world of nature in order to reflect more of the visible word, to lead towards deformation at the same time and abstraction. When I start painting, it's completely spontaneous and allows colors and forms to be combined, that create unity. Every piece is built up with several layers of acrylic colors and sometimes I let some layers to remain up to final stage, some layers glazing within multiple transparent layers of colors.
