“Through colors of transcendental gamma on canvases with the size of a cloud, Shirin Ettehadieh brings us to the emotion of unexpected feelings. With an idea of abstract world and intention to open a mysterious secret of it, the artist presents an absolute truth – dependent on her and on the audience. 

Feminine but strong, her works of art reveal the realm of the eternal motion – a motion of life as if to be a wind in a field, the motion of a caravan migrating to another pole. The unexpected feelings present in any of motions, sorrow or melancholy, or welcoming any other feeling of human creation. 

The game between severe technics and tender, mammary colors drifts us to the sense of spiritual beginnings that exist in any creature, Shirin’s paintings make the audience glorify the life, chant the beauty of Encounter.”
