Nurieh Mozafarri
Amour
February 14th - March 15th, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 15th, 4-6 pm
Artist Statement:
I try to capture my emotions and my perceptions through the simplicity of shape, the harmony of color, and the paradox of light and dark. My paintings are symbolic of my interpretation of life, of my love of what is natural and true. Often what I find in the images is an opening - a possibility of space, but that same space may be shrouded by what is seemingly impossible.
