Shirin Shahin
Art Statement
As an Iranian student my paintings are built on my cultural tradition as well as my interest in the changing world of today.
Looking back to my background experiences shows that I have been considering the role of human and the consequence of modernism and industrialization in nature.
Making collage with paper and appropriate images indicate how much human can be destructive.
My works are the combination of natural and organic forms that are the symbols of life-like and industrial spaces that are the symbol of pollution, destruction, and collapse with collage and representing the destroy of nature with human and his creations like industrialization and modernism.
Appropriate pictures help me to show my emotions about frozen machinery world that we create and live as well.
Delicate lines, organic connections and some parts of the human body are the symbols of movement, growth, hope and finally life.
I continue to explore new ways to share my insight through my paintings.
