Persian Door #58 (Original | Prints Available)

Behind every door lies a multitude of stories, moments of joy, family gatherings, weddings, sorrow, and secrets shared in hushed tones. Each of us has our own history behind a door, whether it’s the home we live in, the place we visit to see loved ones, or the space where we confide in friends and family.

Doors are silent witnesses to our lives, keeping our secrets locked within or, at times, revealing them. While this idea applies to doors around the world, Persian doors hold a unique charm that captivated me, their distinctive knockers.

Traditional Persian doors feature two knockers, each with a unique sound to indicate whether the visitor is a man or a woman, preserving privacy and respect.

Every element in this painting is handcrafted, created using a technique I developed in 2017. Through my art, I strive to preserve cultural heritage while inviting viewers to reflect on the stories doors hold and the passage of time they silently endure.
