AFARIN SAJEDI
“I would say that my work represents humanity. Love, suffering, frustration, desire are feelings that unite us and that I try to convey in my paintings. I want to bring to the outside the emotions of the women I portray, to reveal what women do not say or cannot say. They are strong women with chaotic insides, and they speak to everyone, men or women, as feelings characterises us all as human beings. ”
