Pooneh
Jafarnejad
The
exhibition,
entitled Tranquilibrium,
A calm
balance,
features
new
paintings
inspired
by
nature.
Made
with an
inherent
love for
detail
and
symmetry,
Pooneh's works
reveal
multiple
layers
of depth
and represent the more unforgettable and passionate side of life. Initially,
what
seems to
look
like an
accidental
spill
matures
to a
blast of
color
that
rises
like
haze and
leaves
debris
of
delicate
soft
stains,
lines,
and
thickened
shadows.
Within
her
work,
Pooneh describes
a
feeling
of hope
and
balance,
as a
reaction
to the
violence
and
destruction
that
surrounds
everyday
life.
"In the
absence
of
female
figurines,
which
have
been the
main
focus of
my
paintings,
I have
always
been
looking
for a
way to
express
my
feelings
and
identity
as an
Iranian
painter.
" Pooneh
continues:
"It took
years
with
patience
to walk
by the
unique
trees
and the
plantains
of
Tajrish
area so
I could
find
hope and
tranquility
on the
journey
and look
at the
colorful
landscapes
of my
country's
four
seasons.
In
today's
gloomy
and
insecure
world,
look at
the
solid
Damavand,
the
Persian
Gulf,
the
green
plains
of
Kurdistan
and the
night of
the
light of
Tehran
when
everyone
is
asleep!
It gives
me a
sense of
pride
and
calmness.
In my
paintings,
I use
colors
as pure
as they
are in
nature,
and the
absence
of
light,
at
night,
and the
presence
of man,
which
did not
leave
any part
of
nature
intact.
Man is
bound to
seek
peace
and
balance,
and
hope.
Therefore,
the
triangles
unconsciously
enter
into my
recent
works to
bring
this
golden
triangle
of
peace,
stability,
and hope
together."
