Painting with my Breath and Saffron
In some of the following pieces, I used saffron and my breath as my painting tool.
My breath is like the wind; instead of on the soil, I spread them on my paper to expand their magical colors.

Zahhāk or Zahāk (Persian: ضحّاک), also known as Zahhak the Snake Shoulder (Persian: ضحاک ماردوش,, is an evil figure in Persian mythology, Persian folklore as Azhi Dahāka (Persian: اژی دهاک).
He is considered the son of Ahriman, (devil). Two snakes on his shoulder needed to be fed daily with two young fresh brains to survive. The Persian rugs and the fantasy heaven very much influence my piece.
The light prevails, and the whole work supports joy and the sun.
