Today's Iranian Women

Art is the mutual language of humanity…

All I have in me as an artist can be said only by this alphabet of art; where nothing matters but the truth and the honest feelings you place in every aspect of your creations.
As a human being on the other end, art is the one world that can be full of peace, beauty, and great feelings. Even if it’s supposed to describe pain or bitterness, it makes it beautiful, lovely, and human.
It doesn’t matter where you are born, if your heart beats for human wisdom and a world without violence, if it seeks freedom amongst all that, you can talk to all people just by this language; by a musical piece for instance.
That is the sole element that makes my series and artworks to never start from somewhere and end elsewhere...
Just like the truth... like where the sea ends and the sky begins...
I try to start a dialogue with my audience despite their race, language, and birthplace.

Armin Amirian 

“Iran is a rich depository of contributions in the field of art, architecture, music, literature and cinema. The city of Isfahan, in particular, of opulent architectural structures, is the birthing ground of many prominent Iranian artists and prominent figures.
