Love is a Miracle
"Love is a Miracle" is a profoundly personal work by Keyvan Shovir, a painting that serves as a bridge from the past to the present. As an artist who has extensively researched ancient Iranian art, imagery, and symbolism, Shovir uses this piece to explore the powerful metaphor of birds and flight.
In this work, the birds represent not just the tradition of Persian painting and literature like the classic Golo Morgh style or the celebrated epic Conference of the Birds, but a more contemporary and deeply personal symbol: immigration. Inspired by the poem Parandeye Mohajer (immigrant bird), the painting reflects the artist's own life journey as an immigrant from Iran to the United States.
The style is a beautiful fusion of worlds, blending the spiritual, poetic, and geometric motifs of Iranian tradition with modern mediums like spray paint, a nod to the artist's background in street art. "Love is a Miracle" is a celebration of this journey—a testament to how a passion for history and traditional art can evolve into a unique contemporary expression.
