Art Statement
Bana khalesi

My artworks are formalist at first observation, but I also try to discover a greater communication path in my work. My inspiration in making art comes from literature, music, nature, forms of human bodies, and graphical patterns in early civilizations.
In my process, I start with a narration between elements of the story. This narration, mostly allegorical questions and imaginary answers,
I like to work in layers of design in painting the main ground, background and foreground or in 3 dimensional proportions, line of actions, details and texture. I work with ceramic, acrylic, oil painting, Ink, metal, paper, stone, and fibre.
