About this artwork

A set of two paintings, reflecting on womanhood, strength, and fragility, all in one body. Almost like a dandelion. Or as Mehdi Akhavan Sales brings it to the words: «... انتظار خبری نیست مرا، I'm not expecting any news, نه ز ياري نه ز ديّاري ، باري، not from a friend or beloved, not from the homeland, برو آنجا که بود چشمي و گوشي با کس، Go where there is an awaiting eye and an ear, برو آنجا که ترا منتظرند. Go where you're expected. قاصدک! Dandelion, در دل من همه کورند و کرند. In my heart, everyone is deaf and blind. دست بردار از اين در وطن خويش غريب. Leave where even in your homeland you're mere a strenger. قاصدک تجربه هاي همه تلخ، Dandelion, all these better experiences با دلم مي گويد Tell my heart که دروغي تو، دروغ That you're a lie, a lie. که فريبي تو، فريب. That you're a deception, a deceit. قاصدک! هان، ولي ... Oh Dandelion, yet, راستي آيا رفتي با باد؟ Did you depart with the wind? با توام، آي کجا رفتي؟ آي...!» I'm talking with you, where did you go? Completed 01.13.2022 Watercolor On two 9"x12" papers

About the artist

Avatar for Negar Tabibian

Negar is an Iranian-American artist and designer with a strong passion for visual and performing arts. For her, art is a medium to communicate whatever is going on in her bubble with the rest of the world. So in a way, Negar's artworks are the stories of a Middle Eastern immigrant woman residing in the US, trying to be resilient against life's crises. Depending on where she is standing and what she is trying to express, Negar has used a variety of mediums and techniques from watercolor and acrylic painting and photography to singing and dance installations. However, when looking back on decades of recreation of her visions, one would notice a strong theme in her works: A woman of a fire; and her never-ending battle to survive mental health struggles, immigration, social injustice challenges, and political pro-activation. Negar sees her art as a healing tool. Yet an epiphany for her was that the healing effects were not just impacting her alone as a creator, but her audiences who have connected with installations and artworks, as they have found themselves seen, validated, and expressed via mediums that are not as challenging as words. Negar truly believes that this connection alone with her audiences is one of the most fulfilling aspects of her art for her. IG: World_of_Negar
