Representative to abstract, then from abstract to insightful…
The concept of changing representative things into an abstract form of art was something I hadn’t seen before. It was pretty clever the way the artists also protested through those works of art. I was also able to appreciate a bit more the Iranian culture in the sense that they took censorship as their drive to new creations of art. Based on our conversations and what we learned from the guide, poetry at that time wasn’t a free form of art, therefore, finding painting as a venue to still voice poetry and the messages behind it was, I thought, an authentic form of expressing oneself.
