ISBN: 9781997503118
Language: Persian
Color and Mystery is a poetic and biographical journey through memory, art, and the search for meaning—an intimate narrative of life and death, migration, and family ties, as seen through the eyes of Iranian-Canadian artist Irene Monique Salehi. Drawing from personal experience and lived memory, Salehi reconstructs moments both tender and painful in narrative scenes that echo the vibrant colors and modern techniques of her silk paintings. Like her artwork, this book weaves the mystery of existence into every word and image. Color and Mystery is where language and painting converge—a meditation on inner light, shaped through sorrow, love, and a life lived between worlds.
