About Elham Razani
Elham Razani is a multidisciplinary Persian artist with over two decades of experience in the art world. With exhibitions spanning three continents Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, Elham has had the privilege of sharing her work with diverse audiences. But her journey into art wasn't always clear-cut.
As a child, Elham had little interest in painting, perhaps because she was always on the move, too curious and energetic to sit still. But everything changed in 1999 when she decided to pursue art in Iran. She fell in love with painting, starting with realism before exploring modern techniques. Over time, she combined these two approaches, shaping a style that became uniquely her own.
Her curiosity has fueled her artistic journey, constantly pushing her to experiment with new techniques. Sometimes, she can’t believe that the same girl who once had no patience for painting now spends 8-10 hours a day fully immersed in her art, creating with passion and touching people’s hearts through her work.
Beyond creating, Elham finds joy in sharing her knowledge with her students, encouraging them to believe in their own artistic abilities, just as she once doubted hers. She understands firsthand that talent can be discovered and nurtured, and she strives to inspire others to embrace their creativity with confidence.
Throughout her life, Elham has lived in various countries Iran, Cyprus, Qatar, and South Africa. Each place has left its mark on her artistic evolution, enriching her perspective and approach. In 2020, Elham graduated with a Fine Art degree from the University of Northampton in London, further honing her skills and understanding of the art world.
Her work is a reflection of both her Persian roots and her global experiences. It speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, the challenges faced in life, and the constant search for new paths.
Elham Razani's journey as an artist took a sudden turn in 2017 when she and her husband lost their home and belonging, specially all of her original paintings in a devastating fire in Knysna, South Africa. At that time, she was in Iran while her husband had just arrived in Saudi Arabia to start a new job, and due to the strained relations between the two countries, she couldn’t join him. Having just returned to Iran from South Africa, the loss of her work left her feeling empty, the feeling that she still is an artist but doesn’t have any of her work to exhibit or present.
For nearly two months, Elham was in shock. She sat in her room in Iran, lost in thought, closing the door in despair, letting the weight of it all sink in. She allowed herself to grieve, to cry, and to fully embrace her emotions. But deep down, she knew there had to be a reason for this, a lesson hidden somewhere in the ashes. What now? She kept asking herself, What’s my next step?
Then, one day, a simple truth surfaced: She was still an artist, No fire could take that away. No matter what had happened, she still carried the knowledge, the passion, and the ability to create. But what should she create? Should she return to her familiar styles of abstract and figurative work? The answer was clear: No! That chapter had ended. It was time to step into the unknown, to challenge herself, and to create something entirely new, something she had never attempted before. In many ways, she had to rebuild her portfolio from scratch, embracing the uncertainty as part of the journey.
The idea of working with 3D on canvas emerged. Though she had worked with 3D elements in the past, this was going to be something different. Elham searched for a theme, something that would bring the story to life. As she sat in her room, closing the door, reflecting on the hardships she had gone through to reach this point, she thought about doors, those that close, holding secrets and memories, and those that open, offering new opportunities.
The idea of the door felt perfect. It resonated with her deeply. She began researching Persian doors, and what she found was breathtaking, the intricate designs, especially the female and male knockers, told stories that moved her. Elham knew then that her art would explore the symbolism of doors.
Starting the first 3D door paintings was a huge challenge. She had no idea how to create what she envisioned, and there was nothing out there that matched her idea. But Elham was determined! It didn’t matter that no one else had done it before, she would find her way. And she did!
Now, as she looks at these creations, Elham is reminded of her own journey, of the struggles she faced, and how those doors opened up new opportunities in her life. This series of 3D door paintings, it’s about resilience, about the belief in yourself, no matter what life throws at you, there’s always a way forward.
Her name, ‘Elham’ means Inspiration, and she carries
that meaning with her every day.
Summary about Elham Razani Journey
I am a multi-disciplinary Persian artist, and my journey in fine art began in 1999. Over the years, I have honed my skills, explored various techniques, and developed unique artistic styles. Sharing my knowledge and passion with both children and adults has always been an essential part of my creative path. I Studied in Iran and graduated with a Fine Art degree from the University of Northampton in London.
In 2006, alongside my work in realism and teaching, I began experimenting with new mediums and techniques. I spend between 8-10 hours a day fully immersed in my art, creating with passion and touching people’s hearts through my work. I’ve lived in various countries Iran, Cyprus, Qatar, and South Africa, each place has left its mark on my artistic evolution, enriching my perspective and approach. My work is a reflection of both my Persian roots and my global experiences, which speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, the challenges faced in life, and the constant search for new paths.
This exploration led me to merge two contrasting styles - Realism and Abstract, a combination that shaped my artistic identity and allowed me to exhibit my work internationally across three continents, including Europe and the Middle East.
In June 2017, while visiting my family in Iran, my life took a devastating turn. My husband and I lost our home in a fire in Knysna, South Africa, along with everything we owned, including 50 of my original paintings, each one created with years of love and dedication. I felt hollow, like a part of me had burned with them. An artist without her art, no home to go back to! I was lost.
was in shock, sitting in my room in Iran, lost in thought, closing the door in despair. I grieved, cried, and fully embraced my emotions, but deep down, I knew there had to be a reason for this, a lesson hidden somewhere in the ashes. I kept asking myself, What’s my next step? Then, a simple truth surfaced: I am still an artist. No fire could take that away. My passion and skill remained, I needed a new beginning. But what would I create? Returning to my familiar styles wasn’t an option. I needed something new, a challenge, a fresh start.
The idea of 3D on canvas emerged. As I reflected on my past, doors came to mind, some closing, holding secrets, others opening to new possibilities.
I decided to create something rooted in my Persian heritage, 3D on Canvas and Doors felt perfect. Their intricate designs and symbolic knockers captivated me. I knew this was my new artistic path.
Creating my first 3D door paintings was a challenge, no guide, no reference. There was nothing out there that matched my vision. But I was determined to find a way, and I did!
This series is about believing in oneself, no matter what life throws your way.
Now, years later looking at my work, I see my own journey, struggles, resilience, and the doors that led me forward.
I am proud to present “The Mystery of Persia”.

"Locked Memories"

I wanted this painting to be different, to challenge myself with elements I hadn’t created before. Repeating the same concept over and over doesn’t excite me, I need to push my boundaries, to experiment, to learn something new with each piece. But beyond that, I want visitors to experience variety, to see different stories unfold in my work, and to find something that truly speaks to them.
All elements in this painting are handmade using materials I created from the chains to the shattered wood.
This painting carries a different weight than the others. I decided to add a chain and sculpt a piece of broken wood, both small details, yet they became some of the most challenging aspects of the piece. The chain, heavy and deliberate, adds a sense of restriction, while the broken wood was something I had to truly study to make it feel real. Even now, I look at it and can’t quite believe I created it in a way that looks like a real piece of wood.
The locked door, bound by a chain, tells a silent story of a home once filled with voices, laugh, footsteps, and warmth, now abandoned. Who lived here? What memories are sealed behind this door? It reminds me of how some doors in life remain shut, holding stories we may never hear, while others are just waiting for the right moment to be opened again.
"Female Knocker"
Persian Door Knockers: Symbols of Respect and Tradition
These works is the bridge between past and future. What could be better than represent my country through my art. Through these doors, I invite you to step into my world.
When I was researching door knockers, I completely fell in love with their concept and the story behind them. It amazed me how cleverly they were designed, not just as functional objects but as a thoughtful solution rooted in tradition and respect.
The sound of female knockers allowing women inside to prepare accordingly.
Female Knocker (Lighter Knocker)
- Smaller, lighter, and makes a softer, higher-pitched sound.
- Used by female visitors, ensuring that a woman of the house could answer.
- This distinction preserved traditional Persian customs of modesty and hospitality.
This is the first female knocker I’ve created, and I can’t help but wonder!

"Persian Door House No. 58"
This painting is the first 3D artwork I created after the fire in 2017, and it holds a special place in my heart. I will never forget the emotions I felt during that time, but I also knew that creating art is my form of meditation. As a very positive person, I always believe that everything that happens for me has a reason, and I patiently waited for that reason to reveal itself.
For two months before I created this painting, I was exploring different materials, trying to find the right one for such a unique piece. I learned from my mistakes, experimenting and refining my approach.
All elements in this painting are handmade using materials I created from scratch. I wanted to create everything by hand on canvas, starting from the very basics. This piece challenged me in ways no other had, I had no idea how to make it, as nothing like it existed before. But I trusted my vision and felt a deep excitement to bring what I imagined to life. With determination and belief, I found my way, and this painting became the true expression of that journey.
My art is a bridge between past and present, preserving cultural heritage while inviting viewers to explore the untold stories doors have witnessed and the passage of time they quietly endure.
Two distinct door knockers, each with its own shape and sound, one for men, one for women. More than just a way to identify the visitor, they also served as a symbol of respect.

"Abyaneh Village"
SOLD
Some paintings in this series challenged me more than others, but this particular piece holds the essence of all the stories in this exhibition. The idea came from an image of a woman in Abyaneh, which inspired me to bring together various cultural elements into one composition, traditional Persian knockers, pottery, lattice windows, the places where neighbors sit and chat, and the sound of water flowing in the courtyard, the scent often surrounded by geraniums it all reflecting the essence of this historic village.
Abyaneh, one of Iran’s oldest villages, has a history spanning over 4,500 years. Known for its iconic red-clay houses, wooden lattice windows, and intricately carved doors, the village has preserved its traditions for centuries. Women wear colorful floral dresses with white headscarves, and the ancient Abyaneh dialect, dating back to the Sassanid era, is still spoken today.
A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Abyaneh, and that experience gave me a deeper connection to its beauty and traditions. Walking through its narrow alleys and seeing its architectural wonders first-hand helped me use my imagination to create this piece from the heart, as a tribute to the people of Abyaneh and their rich heritage.
Creating this painting was a significant challenge. I used references from multiple images to reconstruct the scene, and some elements required deep experimentation. The four small lattice windows, for example, took time to perfect, I had to find a way to carve them while maintaining a realistic brick-like texture. The balcony lights, the 3D depth of the canvas, and the sculptural element of the woman in traditional dress all pushed me to refine my techniques further.
This painting took five months to complete, but for me, the result is always more important than the time it takes. I constantly seek new challenges in my work because I never want to repeat myself, each new challenge adds to my skills and artistic growth.

"Male Knocker"
Persian Door Knockers: Symbols of Respect and Tradition
In traditional Persian architecture, door knockers were not just functional elements but carried deep cultural meaning, reflecting values of respect, privacy, and hospitality.
This tradition dates back to ancient Persia, likely originating during the Achaemenid era (550–330 BCE) and continuing through the Safavid period (16th–18th century), when Persian architecture flourished.
Male Knocker (Heavier Knocker)
- Typically larger, heavier, and produces a deep, strong sound.
- Used by male visitors, signaling that a man of the house should answer the door.
- Helped maintain privacy and respect, allowing women inside to prepare accordingly.
A Living Tradition in Iran
Even today, in many cities and villages across Iran, including Yazd, Kashan, Isfahan, and Abyaneh, these distinct door knockers are still in use. They continue to serve as a symbol of Persian etiquette, respecting the privacy of households while welcoming guests warmly.

"Faravahar"
SOLD
Ahura Mazda: meaning "The Wise Lord," is the supreme god of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, founded by Zoroaster over 3,000 years ago in ancient Persia. He embodies truth, light, and wisdom, opposing Angra Mainyu, the force of darkness and deceit.
Zoroastrianism shaped major world religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Though now a small community, primarily in Iran and India (Parsis), its rich legacy endures. The faith's teachings, rituals, and hymns are preserved in the Avesta, reflecting its lasting spiritual and cultural influence.
Core beliefs include:
Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds: A guiding principle for living a moral life.
Elements of the Faravahar:
1. Human Figure: Represents the soul and the individual's responsibility to pursue righteousness.
2. Wings: Consist of three rows of feathers symbolizing good thoughts, good words, and good deed.
3. Tail Feathers: The three rows signify avoiding bad thoughts, bad words, and bad deeds.
4. Circle in the Center: A symbol of eternity and the soul’s immortality, representing loyalty, faith, and commitment. In Zoroastrianism, it signifies a covenant, reminding one to uphold righteousness and moral duty in life.
5. Two Streamers: Attached to the circle, they symbolize the duality of good and evil, urging individuals to choose the right path.
6. The Hand: The figure often holds a ring, symbolizing loyalty and faithfulness.

"The Silent Invitation"
This painting is built on canvas. It was the first time I cut the canvas on the frame! After the first cut I felt comfortable to carry on, and create the pattern.
Read the story, it is beautiful!
The lattice window, known as "Orsi" in Persian architecture, it played a significant role in privacy, culture, and tradition. These beautifully crafted wooden or stone windows, often decorated with intricate geometric patterns, allowed those inside the house, particularly women, to observe the outside world without being seen.
Their patterns filtered light and air while symbolizing hidden stories, silent conversations, and the balance between tradition and choice.
Lattice window
These intricately designed windows allow light and air into homes while maintaining privacy.
- If the light was on, the family was awake and visitors were welcome.
- If it was off, it signified that they were resting and preferred no disturbances.
Silent Language
In traditional Persian society, where modesty and social etiquette were deeply valued, lattice windows became a silent medium of communication. When a man came to visit a household, especially if he was a potential suitor, the young women of the house could observe him from behind the lattice window without direct interaction. This gave them a chance to see his demeanor, his manners, and even his looks, while maintaining the social boundaries of the time.
One of the most fascinating customs tied to this tradition was the tea ritual during a marriage proposal.
If a young man was interested in marrying a girl, he and his family would visit her home, and she would be given the responsibility of serving the tea:
- If she liked the suitor, she would personally serve the tea, a silent yet powerful sign of acceptance.
- If she was not interested, one of the other girls in the house would take over and serve the tea, making it clear that she did not wish to accept the proposal.
- If her mother pressured her to serve the tea against her will, she would serve cold tea, a subtle yet unmistakable way of expressing her refusal without outright rejection.
This silent language of the lattice window and the tea ritual reflects the deep-rooted symbolism and respect for choice in Persian traditions. Women found clever and respectful ways to express their thoughts and preferences.
Today, lattice windows remain an architectural treasure in Persian homes, mosques, and palaces, reminding us of the rich history and customs they once witnessed.

"Endless Strength"
Endless Strength" representing the resilience of Persian culture and the fortitude of women. The tiles on the canvas highlight the richness of Persian heritage, while broken tiles symbolize the cultural destruction caused by irresponsible governance. Despite historical challenges, the artwork emphasizes the unyielding nature of cultural identity and the enduring strength of women.
The torn dress in the painting represents the attempts to exploit and suppress women, suggesting that many try to take advantage of them. However, the depiction underscores that these efforts are futile, as women are inherently strong and always find ways to preserve their strength. The straps resting on her shoulders signify her effort to hold onto her identity. If they are torn, she risks losing herself, yet she continues to fight for her rights, refusing to be silenced
The 3D depiction of a woman's nipple further challenges censorship and gender inequality, underscoring women's beauty and resilience.
This censorship has not only been seen in Muslim countries, but Western countries have also tried to enforce it since early times. You will notice it in magazines and on social media.
Remember, men also have nipples, yet they haven't been censored. Women never censor their nipples because it is a part of our body, just like it is for men. I bold the nipple in the painting to say that even if you censor it, you will still see it.
"Endless Strength" is a call for cultural preservation and gender equality, celebrating the unbreakable spirit of both. No matter the obstacles, our identity and resilience will endure, etched into history, unyielding, and eternal.

"Persian Door House No. 47"
When I set out to create this piece, I envisioned it as a life-sized door, something that felt real, something that could almost be opened. The larger scale and intricate details made the process more time-consuming, but for me, the result was all that mattered. Even now, when I look at this door, I sometimes feel the urge to reach out, knock the female knocker, and waiting to step into whatever story lies behind it.
All elements in this painting are handmade using materials I created.
In the past, and even today in some old houses with large courtyards, people couldn’t always hear someone knocking because the entrance was far from the living spaces. The solution? Two distinct knockers, each with a different shape, producing a unique sound, one for men, one for women. But beyond just identifying the visitor, these knockers also symbolized respect.
Behind every door lies a world of untold stories, moments of laughter, sorrow, reunions, and whispered secrets. Doors stand as silent witnesses to our lives, guarding the memories that shape us.
Persian doors, with their exquisite craftsmanship and deep symbolism, have always fascinated me. Their unique double knockers, once used to distinguish between male and female visitors, reflect a tradition of respect and privacy.
Through my art, I aim to preserve cultural heritage and invite viewers to reflect on time, history, and the unseen narratives hidden behind every door.

"Bound by Time"
This artwork brings a weathered Persian door to life, with its aged wood and rusted metal elements appearing strikingly real.
All elements in this painting are handmade using materials I created.
The 3D bolt and lock, meticulously crafted on canvas, add an extraordinary sense of depth, making the viewer almost reach out to touch it, allowing them to almost feel the roughness of time itself.
The bolt embodies time, resilience, and forgotten stories, evoking nostalgia and mystery. It symbolizes security, secrecy, or abandonment, what lies behind remains unknown. It invites us to reflect on what we lock away, hold onto, and may one day choose to open.
Whose hands once turned this lock?
The bent nail holding the lock may not be perfect, but it serves its purpose, a testament to past ingenuity, where practicality outweighed perfection. It reflects resilience, endurance, and the true essence of strength.
Through texture and dimension, this piece challenges the limits of painting, merging fine art with sculptural realism. It invites the viewer to not only see but to feel the weight of time, tradition, and secrecy.

"The Pressures of Time"
I created this painting in 2024, and it took time to complete. The cracks on the canvas grew more intricate, and at times, I lost myself in the lines. But the turquoise blue gave me the energy to keep going, bringing this piece to life. I wanted the bricks to feel real, carrying the weight of time in their texture.
All elements in this painting are handmade using materials I created from the knockers to the lattice window.
In the past, and even today in some old houses with large courtyards, people couldn’t always hear someone knocking because the entrance was far from the living spaces. The solution? Two distinct knockers, each with a different shape, producing a unique sound one for men, one for women.
The knockers carried deep cultural meaning, reflecting values of respect, privacy, and hospitality. This tradition dates back to ancient Persia, likely originating during the Achaemenid era (550–330 BCE) and continuing through the Safavid period (16th–18th century), when Persian architecture flourished.
Above the door, the lattice window served as a quiet form of communication. If the light inside was on, the home was open to visitors. If it was dark, it meant the family was resting a simple, silent language of respect.
Beside it, the bricks press against the wooden frame, slowly cracking it, a silent reminder of how tradition and change shape one another. Yet, the door stands strong, a guardian of the past, and an invitation to the present. In Persian architecture, bricks have long been the foundation of cities and sacred spaces symbols of resilience and history.

"Steps Through Time"
I began designing this painting in 2019, but bringing my vision to life proved to be a challenge especially the stairs. Unlike ordinary staircases, their structure felt complex, almost elusive. Frustrated, I set the painting aside for two years. When I returned to it, I started with the flowers, hesitant about the yellow hues from the original image. Something felt off. I painted over parts of it, unsure of my next step, yet I never abandoned it. I knew I just needed time to figure it out.
Finally, in 2024, I completed the piece, and it was worth every moment of patience and persistence. The Ali Qapu staircase in this painting is more than just an architectural element, it is a passage through time.
Each worn step carries the weight of history, shaped by those who have walked it for centuries. The delicate floral patterns, the interplay of light and shadow, and the intricate details speak of artistry and tradition. Through this work, I wanted to capture the soul of this place, not just its form to breathe life into the beauty, and grandeur that still lingers within its walls.
Ali Qapu Palace stands at the heart of Isfahan, a masterpiece of Persian architecture built in the early 17th century during the Safavid dynasty. Its name, meaning "The Great Gate," once marked the entrance to the royal precinct.

"The Soul of Persia House No. 13"
One of the challenge I had with this painting, was that it was taller than my height, making it difficult to reach the top to paint, as a result I ended up with severe neck pain whilst creating these pieces! As I worked on this painting since 2024, whether in my studio or outside, people would stop and stare, trying to make sense of what I was creating. Some hesitated before asking, “Is this real wood? Did you bring it from Iran and paint over it?” The curiosity was endless, which I liked it!
Since so many asked, I decided to place a sign above the painting: “Handmade Persian Door on Canvas.” I thought it would clarify things. Instead, it only deepened the confusion! Even after reading the sign, people couldn’t believe that there was no actual wood or metal in the piece, it was all crafted on canvas. When I turned the painting around to show them the back, their astonishment never failed to amuse me. Seeing their reactions, the disbelief in their eyes, only made me more excited about my work.
A visitor mentioned that the more you work on the door, the older it becomes! which was a very insightful point.
Imagine standing before this door, reaching out to knock. As your hand touches its surface, you sense the history embedded within, the countless stories, the generations who have passed through it. When it opens, you are greeted with the warm embrace of Persian hospitality, where a guest is not just a visitor but an honored soul.
If you are fortunate enough to be invited inside, you will be welcomed with a feast, food prepared with love, generosity that comes naturally. And when it’s time to leave, your host will walk you to the door, their farewell as heartfelt as their greeting.
As the door gently closes behind you, its presence lingers a reminder that in Persian culture, a door is not just an entrance. It is an invitation, a silent guardian of tradition, and a gateway to warmth, kindness, and memories that stay with you long after you’ve left.

"Mystical Invitation"
This painting takes me back to my childhood, to the summers, a vessel of memories, it recalls the days when families from Tehran would return to the village of their parents/grand parents, bringing life back to its quiet homes. Each summer, these houses filled with guests, and every home became a place of welcome, where meals were shared, laughter was endless, and the bonds of family grew even stronger. It was a time of togetherness, where doors were never closed, and hospitality was second nature. The chair, now weathered and worn, remains a reminder of those fleeting, precious days.
As I painted this piece, I often set up my easel outside my studio, letting the fresh air guide my brushstrokes. People passing by would stop and stare, and say "Wow, I like it!" It's always gratifying to hear people appreciate what I'm creating. However, they often seem unsure of what they’re looking at, peering behind my easel, getting closer, or even viewing it from the side, sometimes, they can’t resist touching the painting. While I usually prefer that people don't touch the artwork, I understand their curiosity, trying to figure out if it’s wood or what exactly it is!
Viewers get the feeling that this painting is an invitation, it is a passage to the past, a celebration of heritage, and a doorway to the soul. The weathered Persian doors stand open, welcoming the viewer to step inside, to explore, to embrace the beauty of nature beyond them.
The pomegranate trees, bursting with vibrant red fruit, hold deep cultural meaning in Iran. A sacred symbol of fertility, abundance, and the cycle of life, the pomegranate has woven itself into Persian traditions, poetry, and celebrations for centuries.
Among the trees, tall poplars stand like silent guardians, witnessing countless family reunions. In Persian culture, they represent resilience, strength, and the deep-rooted bonds of family.

"Rusted Door"
Iron doors in Persian architecture carry the weight of history, resilience, and transformation. While traditional Persian homes were often adorned with intricately carved wooden doors, the shift to iron reflected a changing era one marked by industrial progress, warfare, and the necessity for stronger, more durable materials.
During the late Qajar and early Pahlavi periods, iron became more prominent in Persian architecture. As trade routes expanded and industrialization reached Iran, blacksmithing flourished, leading to the production of elaborately forged iron doors. These doors were statements of strength and protection, often adorned with geometric patterns, floral motifs, and calligraphy that blended function with artistic expression.
Rusted iron doors, in particular, tell a story of endurance. Over time, the iron oxidizes, its deep reddish hues reflecting the passage of time much like the ancient Persian cities they belong to. The rust, instead of weakening the door’s presence, adds to its character, symbolizing how history leaves its mark on everything it touches.
In Persian culture, doors were never just about security; they represented thresholds between worlds, whether between the private and public, the sacred and the mundane, or the past and the future. The rusted iron doors of Persia remind us of an era when craftsmanship and resilience defined the very entrances that welcomed and protected generations.

"Door Ornaments"
In this painting, I have used oil paint to create an ornamental door that appears three-dimensional, honouring the incredible craftsmanship of Persian artisans. The intricate metalwork on Persian doors, like the one depicted here, stands as a testament to the region's rich artistic legacy.
The ornate metal fixtures, carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans, are often shaped into floral, geometric, or calligraphic designs. These symbols represent prosperity, protection, and hospitality, vital elements of Persian culture. The aged wooden backdrop, weathered by time, adds historical depth and beauty to these masterpieces.
Through the play of light and shadow, the painting gives the illusion of depth, echoing the way these ornaments, though two-dimensional in appearance, seem to come to life. These details are a bridge between the past and present, holding the essence of those who passed through these doors.
This painting reflects the soul of a timeless tradition that continues to inspire and endure.

"Layers of Time"
This artwork is a meticulously crafted small-scale Persian door, yet it captures every intricate detail of its historical inspiration. Despite its size, the depth of texture, weathered wood, aged metalwork, and the carefully placed lock, and knockers make it feel like a life-sized piece of history. Every element has been sculpted with precision, ensuring that the spirit and authenticity of a grand Persian door are fully preserved.
Bricks surrounding the door enhance its historical essence, echoing Persian architecture’s legacy of endurance and craftsmanship. Used for millennia in cities, palaces, and sacred sites, they symbolize strength and the passage of time. Though small in scale, this door carries the weight of stories, memories, and traditions within its details.
The bricks in this artwork pay homage to Persia’s rich heritage, symbolizing history, time, and resilience. In ancient Persia, bricks were more than building materials, they told stories through inscriptions and carvings, shaping cities and preserving history. Here, the bricks framing the Persian door serve as a metaphor: just as bricks support a structure, culture protects and preserves identity.

https://www.instagram.com/bernienza/
After a lifetime of work in a completely different sector, I gave vent to my creativity and the artistic studies I had done in my city: Milan, at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. But only with the serenity of the island of Cyprus have I rediscovered my aptitudes: dexterity and creativity. My artistic thoughts are directed towards the female figure, which is sometimes unreal, and grotesque but funny, with a sibylline attitude and dressed only with small accessories. I love modeling the Gargoyles of Notre Dame de Paris with their devilish expressions. Today, the sea is my inspiration. Combining my two passions, Painting and Sculpture, I have created three-dimensional paintings.

2. Marija Constantinou - Serbia
I am Serbian born artist living in Cyprus. My interest in art started from very early age. I trained with several renowned Serbian artists in classic painting, drawing and stained glass, but found my true passion in abstract painting. I am a qualified nurse, but in 2008 decided to give it up, so I can pursue my art career. I enjoy discovering new techniques and ways to express myself. My work is expressive, dynamic and and colorful, and is representing my thoughts and feelings during the painting and is greatly affected by the music I choose to listen in that process. Art for me is a way of life, it's never ending source of power that keeps me going... I worked with numerus interior designers and sold my work worldwide.

3. Michal Daniely - Israel
I am a ceramic artist living in Limassol. I have over 15 years of experience working with clay. I was Inspired by my first ceramic teacher at the age of 12. As a growing individual, I found my passion in clay which shaped my identity as an artist. Art is my sanctuary, aiming to evoke heartfelt emotions and provoke introspection. My work strives to connect with viewers, fostering understanding within society. Throughout the years I have been involved with projects of art activism combining art and community. My achievements in the art world are integral to my identity; without art, I feel incomplete. Looking ahead, I aspire to continue growing creatively. Starting with a basic ceramic studio, I later pursued a degree in Fine Arts from Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. Learning from the lessons of life, Teaching, and motherhood has profoundly influenced my artistic journey.
As an artist, potter, and ceramicist, I draw inspiration from the world's contrasting happiness versus pain aiming to inspire others and enrich human creativity and understanding through my work.

5. Natalia Fedoseykina - Russia
I am an artist and designer, born in Russia in 1987. With a degree in fine arts, I now focus on abstraction, as I see it as the most vivid way to express emotions.
Abstract art, to me, is the kind of art that doesn’t say everything it leaves room for interpretation, allowing each viewer to bring their own emotions and meaning into the work.
6. Tatiana Izmailova - Russia
My art is created through my soul... I'm working around feelings, memories and emotions. Each of my works has a story behind it. Cyprus opened a new chapter in my life and that has inspired my art. I also get inspired by nature. My art consists of the natural world's beauty and mystery. My paintings celebrate color, form, texture and meditate on the relationship between light, shadow, and atmosphere. I'm working in different techniques of acrylic colors.

7. Jamie Jones - England
I create works that explore the nostalgic essence of childhood, blending bold cartoonish styles with intricate, emotive oil portraiture. Through a variety of mediums, oils, spray paint, collage, and woodcuts, I reflect on how memories, often simplified over time, layer themselves over complex emotions and experiences. These memories, though softened by nostalgia, remain significant in shaping who we are today. I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and encourage reconnection with our inner child. My work questions the notion that maturity requires leaving behind creativity, suggesting instead that it can coexist with the responsibilities of adulthood, enriching our perspective on both the real and the imagined.

This li’l hero is here to remind you that sometimes, the greatest strength lies in simply believing you can still be anything you want to be.
8. Marina Kotidze - Russia
https://www.instagram.com/p/DCT2NUxNo2Y/
paint abstractions. I focus on portraying the absence of objects, lifting paint off the canvas to create a new dimension where a unique state of mind emerges. Freed from the need to cling to familiar forms, we sink deeper into sensations and emotions, while the mind fills in the lines and patches of color with its associations, or surrenders and slips into meditation.
Every painting is a challenge to create a mirror where each viewer can glimpse their inner world. Although I avoid physical objects as subjects, I’m passionate about the materiality of paint itself and always make it an active element in my work.
If a painting doesn’t invite you to run your fingers across it or press your cheek against it to feel its texture, then it’s not ready.
I wish that were the only criterion. But a painting is complete when it holds enough depth to give the viewer a pause a space for an inner conversation.

My first inspiration is the material I work with: clay. The second is the means by which it is transmuted: fire. My ceramic journey started at the age of eight when I discovered clay in the roots of a tree blown down in a gale. My work reflects the deep connection I feel with the natural world in Cyprus and the traces to be found of ancient civilizations on the island. Biography

17. Verena Venus - German
https://www.instagram.com/
Verena Venus is a dynamic artist whose journey has been shaped by resilience and self-discovery. Trained in art as a teenager, Verena encountered little encouragement, with one particularly dismissive teacher nearly extinguishing her passion. Despite this setback, after a childhood spent finding solace in opera singing and art, Verena ultimately reclaimed creativity as a path to healing.
A pivotal turning point came in Cyprus, where Verena rekindled her love for self-expression. This renewal sparked a powerful transformation that now defines her work, especially in a new series of women’s portraits that embody her journey of reinvention and self-acceptance.
Verena currently explores the vast world of color, experimenting with techniques that emphasize, omit, and manipulate hues to create impressions and illusions.
This exploration marks a new, conscious phase in her art a journey more deliberate and bold than in her childhood. Through each vibrant piece,
Verena Venus shares a story of resilience and transformation, inviting others to rediscover and embrace their creative spirits.

Title: The Nymph of the Anemone Field
Medium: Acrylic, silver leaf on canvas
Size: 80х60 cm
Year Created: 2023
Price: €1730
Country: Belarus
Description: Through a character created based on my appearance, I explore the fluctuations between the personal and the collective, the inner and the outer, the cultured and the wild, the dominant man who is part of nature. In ancient philosophy, Socrates formulated a worldview according to which man is the center of the universe and the goal of all events taking place in the world. I am trying to question the usual interpretation of reality and the illusory world of human domination over nature. We are infinitely a part of the living nature. We flow from one organic form to another, eternally striving for unity, and perfection but never achieving it.

Description: In conditions of high speeds, continuous flow, and constant changes, we often miss the most important thing - this part. The daily simple joys of every moment
of life. The Paphos region is famous for its sunsets and banana plantations. Many people eat bananas every day and this is probably the most common fruit on Earth. But did you know that bananas are berries that grow on grass? Yes, the banana tree is nothing but the largest grass in the world, and the thick trunk is just a stalk. Bananas are not only yellow but also red and even black. In every everyday object and action, there is life itself. It is important not only to achieve the goal but also to enjoy on the way.
20. Jay Dahler - England
https://www.instagram.com/_jayaywhy_
Since a young age I have had an un-scratchable itch to create, to make something that I can touch and see that takes the place where nothing was. From the ages of about 12-15 I stopped making for reasons I cannot justify. Then as a stressed, sad and angry pubescent boy I started to paint. The itch of creativity came back, stronger than ever. Before the painting was even finished, I had started another and the cycle I had gotten on is still running to this day.
The urge to create became an obsession, a daily necessity. After long days and nights practicing my rediscovered passion, I knew what I wanted to do every day for the rest of my life. This led me to having my first ever solo exhibition at the Makers Space titled ‘Beginning’ in the summer of 2022. The show was a huge success and taught me a lot. Shortly after that I left Cyprus to further my painting skills at university, now I am in my final year of my Fine art course at Manchester. My work these days revolves around humour and the absurdity of human experience. The works I have submitted range in topic but the eagerness to be funny and absurd traces through.

Ellada Amvrosiadou
Ellada Amvrosiadou lives in Paphos and has finished Fashion Design Institute in Greece . For some time she worked in the fashion industry yet her love for art took over and the last years she completely focused on it .
Ellada's art is difficult to put between certain frames of a genre , she likes to invent new ,to synthesize and mix different styles but very carefully, invisibly removing the borders .We can definitely say that the analytical state of mind in her paintings is as present as romanticism . In her work minimalism is where the absence of many details is compensated by a distinct center and emotionally bright choice of colours. The scenarios of the pieces do not belong to any type of subjectivism ,as they are filled with metaphors ,associations and symbolism.
When you look at Ellada's paintings you get the unexpected feeling of some fantastic space , afar away mysterious world as if '' through the looking glass''.

Svetlana De Smet
Svetlana De Smet is a Russian artist who graduated as a teacher from Volgograd University. In 2010, in Luxembourg, at a private art school, she discovered various painting techniques.
"My work in art is an exploration of the depth of feelings and emotions through textural elements and forms. In my works, I use various materials such as texture paste, primer, acrylic, sand and fabric, where texture becomes a language through which I express the entire spectrum of emotion and invite the viewer to feel the richness and variety of surfaces."
Each painting is not only a visual admiration, but also an inner contemplation. They also become the perfect addition to any interior, giving a special charm and individuality to the space.

Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 50x70 cm
Year Created: 2023
Description: The painting "Iberia" effectively captures the essence of antiquity, as each textured surface intertwines with the cultural foundations of Georgian history. The olive and umber shades imbue it with a profound sense of time, while every brushstroke appears to carry the weight of centuries-old history, transporting the viewer to the expansive realm of the ancient Iberian kingdom.
"The Silence of Pandora"
Artist Name: Svetlana De Smet
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 40x60 cm (each)
Year Created: 2024
The Silence of Pandora" is not just the absence of sounds but a profound tranquility that envelops this mystical world. In this silence, one can feel a connection with nature, where the whisper of the wind and barely audible sounds of the environment create a unique symphony of peace. Calm shades establish an atmosphere of serenity, while lines softly flowing across the canvas reflect invisible waves of silence. And the mist, like a veil, invites the viewer into a meditative immersion in the soundless harmony of Pandora.

Charalambos Epaminonda
Σπουδάζω την τέχνη πρώτα στην ποίηση, στη λογοτεχνία και μετά στη ζωγραφική. Διαβάζω, γράφω και μετά ζωγραφίζω. Πρώτα είμαι λογοτέχνης και μετά ζωγράφος. Πρώτα ο λόγος και μετά η εικόνα. Έτσι, η ζωγραφική μου γεννιέται μέσα από ένα ποίημα. Συνήθως διαβάζω ποίηση και παραμύθια. Από εκεί αντλώ τα θέματά μου.

Όταν έλθουν όλα μαζί να τους τις φορέσει και θα λυθούν τα μαγιά. Η δύσκολη αυτή εργασία είναι η δημιουργία του ποιητή. Από το βαρύ στο ανάλαφρο. Από το σκοτάδι στο φως. Η γυναίκα είναι πρωτεργάτης της ελευθερίας.

George Kotsonis
George Kotsonis, born on March 14, 1940, in Paleochori, Cyprus, grew up in a large family amidst poverty, with his father working in the Amiantos mines. Despite his parents' aspirations for his education in the city, George's passion for drawing blossomed when he received colored pencils as a gift. His innate talent for capturing his surroundings on paper garnered both admiration and envy from those around him, including his teachers. His love for the Cypriot landscape and its churches deeply influenced his artwork.
Facing financial struggles, George attended the Commercial Academy in Limassol, staying with relatives who owned a bakery. While studying, he continued to paint and worked delivering bread, gaining free entry to the local cinema where he learned about projectors. This exposure to film sparked his fascination with the moving image, shaping his artistic composition.
George's art reflects his cinematic approach, evident in works like the monumental mosaic featuring the Apostle Paul. This masterpiece showcases his skill in composition, emotional expression, and technique. Throughout his life, George remained connected to his roots, drawing inspiration from his childhood landscape and experiences.
Despite his humble beginnings, George Kotsonis's passion for art and his ability to translate his surroundings onto canvas or mosaic established him as a renowned artist. His journey from a poor Cypriot village to artistic acclaim exemplifies the transformative power of passion and talent.

Edo
Edo is an up and coming artist in the Art World. He is focused on creating contemporary art pieces in multiple colours to enrich one's life. Past , Present and Future play an important part in his creations as he plays homage to the Old Masters. He tries to envisage and feel the future with great optimism . Hailing from the school of Vokaism, Edo has so far purposely only produced a very limited number of Art creations. Demand for his Art is growing slowly but surely and at times attracted high bids.
Everyday is different and brings out different moods , as I look at a blank canvas my thoughts come alive in colour and the blankness of the canvas disappears .With colour splashed an image starts to form which brings excitement and clarity . Layer after layer of paint and colour , the image unfolds and out comes My Creation. Parts of me have left me and became their own entity and I couldn't be happier.
"Medusa"
Artist Name: Edo
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 65x90 cm
Year Created: 2023
Price: €2000
Description: Medusa (Medusa represents female power and resilience, making it a popular choice for those who identify as feminists or want to celebrate the strength of women) and Zeus (Zeus is considered the ruler, protector, and father of all gods and humans)
Medusa offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the classical figure, blending a rich spectrum of colors to create a strikingly vivid and emotionally resonant piece. The artist has depicted Medusa not just with her iconic serpentine hair but with a humanized and somewhat sympathetic expression that challenges traditional representations of her as a monstrous figure.
"Zeus"
Artist Name: Edo
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 65x90 cm
Year Created: 2023
Price: €2000
Description: The artist's choice to portray Zeus with a direct gaze engages the viewer and adds a personal connection to the otherwise ethereal subject. This technique, combined with the strong features rendered in an almost expressionist style, brings a modern twist to the classic iconography typically associated with the god. Overall, the painting captures the essence of Zeus in a unique blend of color, form, and texture, leaving a lasting impression of both the character's mythology and the artist's personal interpretation.

Irina Rozhkova
Irina Rozhkova, a watercolor impressionist who discovered her passion for painting at the pivotal age of forty, embraces the unpredictable and fluid essence of watercolors, a medium notorious for its challenging nature. This late blooming artist embarked on a journey of exploration and learning, studying under various teachers, only to realize the beauty and humility in the uncontrollable aspects of the creative process. Irina finds her muse in the unparalleled artistry of nature itself—its vast skies, serene seas, majestic mountains, and awe-inspiring sunrises stir a profound sense of emotion within her, an essence she aspires to capture and convey through her artwork.
Drawing from the colors of the natural world, Irina employs a distinctive technique that involves mixing pigments directly on wet paper, allowing water to play its part in the unfolding story of each piece. This method not only highlights the unpredictable beauty of watercolor but also reflects the artist's belief in the serendipitous interactions between medium and creator. Much of her inspiration is drawn from the stunning landscapes of Cyprus, with its enchanting views offering an endless palette of hues and tones for her work.
Irina Rozhkova’s watercolor landscapes are not just visual representations of the natural world but an invitation to experience the fleeting, ephemeral moments of beauty that nature generously offers. Through her art, she hopes to evoke a symphony of feelings in the viewer, mirroring the profound impact that the natural world has on her. Irina's journey is a testament to the transformative power of art, reminding us that it is never too late to discover one’s passion and that in the dance with the uncontrollable, there lies the true beauty of creation.

Andrei Simanschi
I'm a contemporary painter with an academic background who's exploring the frontier where free abstract expression meets the laws of light and shape as we perceive them. I blend my own techniques with traditional methods, shaping up my version of abstract surrealism.
To me art art is about diving into the sheer beauty of abstract compositions. I'm intrigued by the captivating allure of abstract beauty – it's like a doorway into a state of deep contemplation.
Through my work, I aim to spark the artist present in every viewer. I see art as this amazing bridge that brings us all together in a shared appreciation for beauty.
"Solid Light I"
Artist Name: Andrei Simanschi
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 100x100 cm
Year Created: 2024
Price: €1730
Description: This artwork marks the inception of the upcoming “Solid Light” series. Solid light, or hard light, is a concept theorized by physicists, representing light in a solidified state.
For me, beauty is as elusive as light itself, yet equally valuable and deserving of exploration. Here, the challenges faced by a quantum physicist and an artist can sound strikingly similar – can this ever-moving, elusive, and perplexing substance that envelops us be halted, captured, or tamed? I extend an invitation to the viewer to join me in enjoying the process of trying.

ILona Za
During my life and studies in Belarus and Russia, I felt the pressure of dictatorship and after graduation, I started travelling and living in different countries of the world. Travelling and studying the history and traditions of various cultures have incredibly expanded my boundaries and perspectives towards art. In my artistic practice, I explore the issues of migration, self-identification and self-acceptance, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature in a fast-paced cosmopolitan world.
Most of my canvases are graphically painted with acrylic in a graphic manner with clean lines and fills. Also, it’s important for me to save the traditions of past generations and use embroidery, mosaics, and handmade work. I like to combine techniques and knowledge from different fields. It helps me to find unexpected creative solutions for my ideas and develop as an artist with every new art piece.
“Bird Singing”
Artist Name: ILona Za
Medium: Acrylic, Silver leaf on Canvas
Size: 50x70 cm
Year Created: 2022
Price: €1200
Description:
My work is inspired by the incredible birdsong that I listen to when I paint in the studio. The color combination of the painting from the Papho’s magnificent sea sunsets.
Harmonious coexistence of human and nature became one of the main subjects in my art. Nature with its endless beauty is my biggest inspiration.
The history of civilizations shows that the rise or fall of a civilization is closely tied to the quality of the ecological environment. We shall protect ecosystems as preciously as we protect our eyes, and cherish them as dearly as we cherish our lives.

Artist Name: Elham Razani
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 120x88 cm
Year Created: 2021
Price: €3300
Description: "Endless Strength" encapsulates the profound resilience of Persian culture amidst adversity, with a striking portrayal of women who refuse to be silenced. Despite facing societal, cultural, and spiritual oppression, women in Iran continue to stand tall, fighting tirelessly for their rights. Their unwavering strength is depicted in the painting's imagery, where even torn clothes symbolize the pressures they endure, yet their confidence remains unshaken.
Furthermore, the inclusion of a 3D-rendered nipple challenges societal norms and censorship, questioning the inequality that women face in comparison to men. By boldly depicting this symbol of female anatomy, the artist highlights the inherent strength and defiance of women, who refuse to be confined by arbitrary rules and restrictions.
In Iran, women continue to push boundaries and defy expectations, inspiring generations to come with their unwavering determination and unwavering resolve to fight for their rights and freedoms.

"Harmony"
Artist Name: Elham Razani
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 91.5x122 cm
Year Created: 2020
Price: €2900
Description: In this captivating painting, I explore the intricate parallels between flowers and women, delving into their shared traits of beauty, sensitivity, and vulnerability. Like delicate blossoms, both are perceived through the lens of individual perception, where beauty is subjective and lies in the eye of the beholder. Yet, beneath their outward fragility lies a remarkable strength and resilience, akin to the unyielding power found within nature itself. Through vibrant strokes and subtle symbolism, I caution against underestimating or exploiting their essence, for within their grace lies a formidable force to be reckoned with.
