Resume

Statement on Elham Hosseinhaji’s paintings.

Her works, I mean Elham Hossein Haji's paintings keep one's mind considering the pain and life by the use of warm colors and the powerful meaning of humans figure. This consideration even in the limited frame of the story is also emphasizing on life and living: the color is pain and the human is, at fault.

Looking at the first and second works, the painter's motivation for making an abstract atmosphere and the colorful backgrounds, show complex she wanted her paintings to be. This complicating is a part of today's human difficult life. Sometimes shows the figure by the vast monotony of colors but sometimes the colors spark just like a fire flame and cause the confusion for mind the way you can decide on story. The surface of color does not represent the depth. It represents the deep meaning, though.

The third generation of her art is more poetic. The figures are more curly and bent; however, the forms shape in the softness of lines and come true. The transformation of figures reminds us of the softness of body that is mixed with pain and suffering. There is a valuable contradiction here: the picture is so smooth the same way it seems lonely and deserted.
