																			The 
																			presented 
																			paintings 
																			are 
																			the 
																			attempts 
																			to 
																			reach 
																			a 
																			kind 
																			of 
																			mysterious 
																			and 
																			imaginary 
																			visualization 
																			of 
																			the 
																			female 
																			world 
																			of 
																			the 
																			artist. 
																			In 
																			this 
																			exploration, 
																			the 
																			explanation 
																			of 
																			the 
																			sense 
																			of 
																			beauty 
																			and 
																			the 
																			inner 
																			emotions 
																			of 
																			the 
																			painter 
																			are 
																			blended 
																			with 
																			the 
																			illustrations 
																			of 
																			Shahnameh 
																			and 
																			the 
																			Iranian 
																			traditional 
																			images. 
																			This 
																			endeavor 
																			is a 
																			search 
																			for 
																			the 
																			bravery 
																			and 
																			courage 
																			of 
																			the 
																			personality 
																			of 
																			Iranian 
																			women 
																			and 
																			a 
																			reflection 
																			of 
																			the 
																			fearlessness 
																			of 
																			the 
																			depth 
																			of 
																			their 
																			souls. 
																			The 
																			illustrations 
																			of 
																			the 
																			stories 
																			of 
																			Shahnameh 
																			(The 
																			stories 
																			of 
																			banquets 
																			and 
																			battles, 
																			the 
																			hunting 
																			ground 
																			scenes 
																			and 
																			…) 
																			are 
																			the 
																			symbols 
																			of a 
																			paradisal 
																			world 
																			at 
																			its 
																			ultimate 
																			beauty, 
																			which 
																			charm 
																			and 
																			fascinate 
																			every 
																			human 
																			being. 
																			The 
																			artist’s 
																			works 
																			are 
																			the 
																			reflection 
																			of 
																			her 
																			inner 
																			mind 
																			and 
																			they 
																			are 
																			trying 
																			to 
																			reveal 
																			the 
																			identity 
																			of 
																			an 
																			Iranian 
																			woman 
																			beyond 
																			the 
																			colorful 
																			world 
																			of 
																			the 
																			images. 
																			It 
																			is a 
																			fervent 
																			hope 
																			that 
																			via 
																			this, 
																			a 
																			step 
																			towards 
																			this 
																			mission 
																			has 
																			been 
																			taken.
