Art as a Unique Expression of Freedom

Vivid colour and form all contribute to the expression of deep emotions inspired by Souren’s experience, her journey and freedom to safety.

Recurring images celebrating the power and dignity of the female form contrast with striking dark angry pieces, evolved from the denial of human dignity and femininity through life.
Souren’s work encompasses strong watercolour paintings, distinctive oil colours and acrylics.

The artist frequently alludes to the fading shadows of her Persian heritage, in which her childhood and adolescence were rooted.

Past, present and future can nag her brain relentlessly until the canvas begins to appear.
People and their environment can rise and be lost in space.

There are signs of emotions in her inner world of painting. Culture can run out through colours as well as shapes and the figures play and live in silence.

Souren’s art reveals a compelling journey of mind, body and spirit in her attempt to find peace and independence.
