Hoonaz Afaghi
'Line, surface, color, form, light, and my mental metaphors...all were the beginning of the searches that I had been pursuing for years in drawing and painting...And actually, painting is a medium for me to freely implement my ideas, this freedom comes from the daily process of life. The liberation that I can find is only by revealing our inner layers and I was able to depict it with painting.'
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
The complexity and contradictions of human personality as well as my encounter with nature and its virgin forms give me different metaphors that this media (painting and drawing) can replace my verbal conversation and actually pen strokes and lines are symbols and signs. From different layers of words that have not been spoken and left traces on paper and canvas.Born April 26,1973 in Tehran, Ian. Graduated as MA graphic from Tehran Alzahra University (2001). Member of Iranian Graphic Designers Society.
