Afsaneh Djabbari-Aslani : Still Life

Le Jardin #2
2019
Acrylic
30" x 40"

Le Jardin paintings are part of my flower series; experimenting with the traditional fine art oil painting and the more contemporary approach with acrylic paints. Oil paints give a luscious depth and texture to the painting which is sometimes missing in acrylics. By the same token acrylics give a freedom to manipulation which is missing in oil. Manipulating the mediums is my favorite part of the process. You can see more of the latest paintings on my website. The acrylic paintings tend to be very large while the oils are smaller to keep the colors fresh and vibrant.

The color blue represents air and water. The blue bowl is a vessel for holding these important elements. The pomegranate fruit is considered the fruit of life in many cultures, especially the middle east and a close tie to my roots.

The colors turquoise and red are very prominent in my paintings and are tied closely to my Persian roots where the colors in the fabric, carpet and architecture are strong, vibrant and exciting.
