Artwork location: France

Beginning his career as a sculptor by experimenting with pottery and clay, it was by participating in Parviz Tanavoli's sculpture workshops in 2006 that the artist understood his destiny and his vocation. Self-taught sculptor, the main inspiration of her work is the inner exploration of femininity using mundane objects to reveal her experiences. It is inspired by the mythological archetypes of Jung and by the psychological methods of self-realization and ancient Persian myths. Social and cultural issues deeply influence her works.

She is currently working on the concept of time and the subconscious, with an emphasis on the therapeutic aspect with regard to her own psychological healing in relation to herself and to outside. She regularly uses the human form to convey her ideas. Besides the bronze technique, the use of other materials in his works, including aluminum, brass, fiberglass, papier mache, and mixed media are all based on personal desires and experiences.

Nastaran Safaei

Iran  • 1984

Beginning her journey as a sculptor by experimenting with pottery and clay in 2000 she was mostly self taught in her experience until attending Parviz Tanavoli’s first series of sculpting workshops in 2006 focusing on the Bronze technique which resulted in her first solo sculpture exhibition at Assar art gallery. The successful show made her a member of the association of Iranian sculptors.

The main inspiration for her work is inner explorations of femininity by using mundane objects to express her experiences. She is deeply inspired by the mythological archetypes of Jung and the psychological methods of self-realization and ancient Iranian myths. Social and cultural issues influence her work deeply.

She is currently working on the concept of time and the sub-conscious, focusing on the therapeutic aspect of her work in regards to her own psychological healing in relation to herself and the exterior. She regularly uses the human form to convey her ideas.

Other than the Bronze technique, use of other materials in her works, which include Aluminum, Brass, Fiberglass, Papier-Mache and mixed media were all based on personal experimentation and experience.
