Mahnaz Morad

I paint with stones because they reflect both the harshness of life and the hidden softness within me. The stone did not simply become my tool—it chose me, teaching me that while I may appear strong on the outside, I am also delicate and vulnerable inside. Through this process, my art becomes a form of healing. Painting is how I rescue myself, and I hope it may also offer others a sense of peace and connection.
