Alemeh Bagherian explores the feminine figure through a modern and symbolic lens, using oil paint to layer emotion, narrative, and myth. Symbols play a central role in her compositions, each object chosen with intention. In this piece, the juxtaposition of elements such as the skull, wine, books, playing cards, and a magic wand reflects a meditation on mortality, illusion, wisdom, and female agency. Bagherian’s paintings invite the viewer to decode visual metaphors and step into a surreal world where emotion and symbolism coalesce.
