Look of Iranian Woman to War Story
Iranian women are an inexhaustible source of power and a portrait of love on Iran’s civilization and culture’s spirit.
Beauty cannot be created solely through the use of a brush and paint on a canvas. Sometimes a woman blends into her art in such a way that she creates a passionate bond with all the currents of the universe, even war. She understands that war is a tumultuous and congested environment, yet she embraces it with all her heart and soul.
She carries it into her house, her bag, and her daily life touches it and composes a wonderful song for future generations on the concept of war.
She is so absorbed in her work of art that she can turn violence and adversity into a romantic scene. This work of art depicts an Iranian artist’s love ballad, as told by an Iranian woman.
