Artwork Description

about this mixed media painting

Pegah Lari’s paintings explore the shifting line between dreams and waking perception. Her work blends Persian miniature aesthetics and symbolic calligraphy with bold color palettes and contemporary symbolism.

Using acrylic, ink, and layered textures, she creates visual worlds rooted in both memory and imagination. Calligraphic forms and silhouette like figures appear amid surreal settings that question what is seen and what is felt.

Lari often merges personal memory with cultural motifs, creating dreamlike scenes that feel timeless yet emotionally current. Her compositions draw from Iranian visual traditions while embracing pop accents, such as sunglasses or stylized accessories.

Intricate details and soft outlines create a fluid dialogue between reality, fantasy, and the subconscious mind. Through symbols, patterns, and shifting figures, she reflects on identity, vulnerability, and emotional memory.

Each painting becomes a visual meditation on the fragility of human experience and the stories we carry inside. Lari’s work invites viewers to look inward, to find truth in ambiguity and beauty in fragmentation.
