Eternal Peace
"Eternal Peace" is a powerful contemporary painting that serves as a bridge between ancient Persian tradition and modern identity. As an artist who has extensively researched the rich symbolism of Iranian culture, Keyvan Shovir masterfully incorporates the recurring motif of birds and flight into this work.
The painting is a reflection on profound literary and philosophical concepts. It draws inspiration from the timeless wisdom of Farid ud-Din Attar's Conference of the Birds, where each bird on a spiritual journey embodies human virtues and vices. It also carries a more personal and contemporary message, symbolizing the immigrant experience, much like the theme in Iraj Janati Ataee's poem, Parandeye Mohajer (immigrant bird).
"Eternal Peace" showcases a unique fusion of styles. It combines the intricate patterns of Persian miniatures with the bold, urban aesthetic of street art, a tribute to the artist's background. The use of acrylic and spray paint creates a dynamic conversation between the ancient and the modern, the sacred and the street. This painting is a testament to the artist's journey and a celebration of finding peace in the complex intersection of heritage and a new identity.
