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. Bagherian’s paintings invite the viewer to decode visual metaphors and step into a surreal world where emotion and symbolism coalesce.

This work emerges from Bagherian’s ongoing inquiry into the boundaries between dream and reality, narrative and stillness. Through a symbolic and theatrical visual language, Bagherian constructs a liminal world where identity dissolves, and time becomes fluid. The masked central figure resists definition- embodying not a singular persona, but the archetype of the performer, the dreamer, the storyteller is revealed from within.

The surrounding objects-vintage books, toys, oversized mushrooms, a teacup-serve as symbolic fragments of memory, childhood, wisdom, and fantasy. Each element is charged with metaphor, inviting the viewer into an intimate space of visual decoding and emotional resonance

Working in oil, Bagherian treats the medium as both sensual and conceptual; a vehicle through which inner landscapes can surface. This piece seeks to invite reflection, evoke subconscious associations, and create a bridge between personal mythology and collective imagination.
