The weather may not be on our side, but the Bank Holiday weekend has arrived. Happy Easter, and Ramadan Mubarak with a watercolour by Neda Dana-Haeri.
In the joint publication with Tajalli Keshavarz, Unbound Expressions, she writes “Each image is a mirror of another. Rain and fire, wind and ice, sky and earth, they speak with the skin and dormant memories, creating liquid bubbles which pour a form of free expression in the breeze. In its unbound expression, earth is wind, and with every pulse, its unsteady spirit melts in the sun, spreading its essence to the longing planet….” Painting in watercolour, acrylic and oil, on a variety of raw materials, Dana-Haeri creates abstractions and layered surfaces, which recall the natural elements and reference both visual and litrefrom her homeland.
Neda Dana-Haeri was born in Iran and moved to England in 1977, where she studied Psychology and Fine Arts in London. She currently works and resides in London. Both a painter and printmaker, Dani-Haeri, encapsulates her Iranian cultural background throughout her work. Persian poetry and Sufi philosophy are central themes in her painting conveyed through vibrant expressions of colour and light.
