Like Water I Always Find My Way

Janet Rady Fine art is pleased to present, ‘Like Water I Always Find My Way’, an online exhibition in association with Aaran Gallery, featuring the works of Iranian emerging artist, Shaqayeq Ahmadian.

Shaqayeq Ahmadian captures life through a playful, exhilarating lens. Guided by her own sense of perception, she paints with immediacy and truthfulness. This immersive effect puts viewers squarely in the artist’s world. Her different layers of experience are eccentric and emerge through her choices of colours and form. Ahmadian engages with past and present and offers a possible future.

In this new series of works, the artist’s daydreams are of a blue palace and a sparkling and translucent sea. Her paintings set a background for her female heroines, some tearful, often standing in darkness or trapped within the limits of their own lives, but always strong and mindful of the future. After all, they are masters of their own destiny.
