Hana Shahnavaz (°1985), a British-Iranian artist known for her vivid, intricate paintings, invites viewers into her vibrant world. Drawing from Persian mythology and ancestral wisdom, her work embodies a deep bond with the earth. In her first solo exhibition in Belgium, the artist explores the feminine force of nature, celebrating its beauty, power, and fragility. She sees the Earth as a portal to infinite possibilities, holding within it the seeds of healing and abundance. By acknowledging our inherent connection to Mother Earth, the artist suggests we can nurture these seeds, transforming our world into a more abundant space. Her work encourages us to rediscover and cherish our bond with nature.
