Artwork Description

This piece is inspired by the event that happend in France. The dancing plague (or dance epidemic) of 1518 was a case of dancing menia occurred in Strasbourg, in July 1518. Somewhere between 50 and 400 people took to dancing for days.people ultimately danced to their deaths.
The dancing was "stress-induced psychosis" on a mass level, since the region where the people danced was riddled with starvation and disease, and the inhabitants tended to be superstitious. 
I use professional quality acrylic paint on canvas. Varnished, sides painted, ready to hang unframed.

Artist Bio

I am an Iranian-Australian visual artist, based in Melbourne.

My art is a journey into the realm of the abstract, where the tangible and intangible intersect in a dance of color, form, and emotion. In my work, I strive to capture the essence of the human experience through figurative abstraction, exploring the depths of our inner worlds and the interplay between reality and imagination.

With each stroke of my brush, I aim to convey the complexity of human emotions and the ever-shifting landscapes of our minds. The figures that emerge in my pieces are not mere representations of the physical, but rather vessels for the expression of feelings, memories, and dreams. These figures are often obscured, fragmented, or transformed, inviting viewers to delve beneath the surface and contemplate the layers of meaning within my artistic process is deeply intuitive, guided by the rhythms of my inner thoughts and emotions. I draw inspiration from the beauty and chaos of the world around me, as well as the quiet moments of introspection. My work is a reflection of the constant dialogue between the conscious and the subconscious, a visual representation of the unspoken narratives that shape our lives.

Through the interplay of vibrant hues, bold gestures, and subtle nuances, I invite viewers to embark on their own interpretive journey. Each piece is an open-ended conversation, a space where the boundaries of reality blur and where the imagination is free to roam.

I believe that art has the power to transcend words, to bridge the gaps between individuals, and to evoke emotions that lie deep within us all. My hope is that my figurative abstract creations resonate with those who encounter them, sparking contemplation, connection, and a renewed sense of wonder about the multifaceted tapestry of the human soul.
