ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In the Islamic belief the rhythmic tandem of inspiration and exhilaration is the two phase principle underlying the creation of the Universe. "The Breath of the Compassionate" geometric pattern defines perfectly this principle through two complementary polygons, containing the “shamse” and a perfect cross. Calligraphy, on the other hand, is the Word of God, an embodiment of the spiritual realities. Placing my creation at the beginning of times, I have used in my “Cosmic Logos” hand painted silk collection the geometry of creation as a reflection of our world. My infantile calligraphy is a very personal way of expressing my feelings as a young child when I used to write my thoughts on old books. Now, my writing is a correlation with the primordial divine Word, expressing our bonding with the celestial Spirit. Altogether, calligraphy is the geometry of the Spirit. Inspired from a 14th century ceramic tile panel from Iran, found at Victoria and Albert Museum in London. *This is a silk painting made in the batik technique. It required hot wax and special silk colors to be done. It is painted on high quality Silk Charmeuse 19,5 momme and framed on a wooden frame. The painting comes with the hanging hardware on the back side. To find out more about this technique, how I paint, my workshop and collections, please visit my website:

I resemble myself and my artistic evolution with the tough process of producing and painting the silk. Although the thread seems to be so frail, it passes through boiling water, grasps, twists, bleaching, drying and weaving and in the end it comes out being part of a noble fabric, full of strength a nd luster. In the hands of the artist, the silk passes once more through hot wax, dyes, heat, steaming and washing to become a work of art that can be worn, touched and felt. The first part of our lives and the first part of my becoming as an artist had to pass through the hands of others to be roughly polished and shaped, but our becoming as the ones we want to be has to pass through our own hands, minds and hearts. My artistic expression is strongly bounded to my becoming: a woman, an artist, a person.
