"Subliminal" reaches into the depths of the human psyche, exploring the interconnectedness between our primal instincts and our conscious selves. The contrast of half woman, half wolf portrays the duality within each individual, symbolizing the primal, instinctual nature alongside the rational, human aspect. The black and white palette emphasizes the contrast between light and shadow, mirroring the internal struggle between opposite forces. It shows the subconscious influences that shape our identities, blurring the lines between human and animal, rationality and instinct, in a mesmerizing exploration of the subconscious mind.
Mahna is a self-thought Iranian-Canadian artist. She started oil painting at the age of 12 and her passion for painting lead her to learn different mediums through the years. Her unique style is distinguishable by the way the vibrant tones and divergent elements are combined, bringing realism into a subjective abstract form of modern style.
Mahna's inspiration for art comes from a life filled with much contrast, from colorful memories experienced through world travel flying around the globe and living in different countries to the never forgotten reminders of sordid destruction and grief associated with war in her native country. Through her journey, she has managed to find peace and the magic of life which manifests itself in her artworks.. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally in different countries including Canada.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
An artwork is an attempt to stop time and save the moment, a brave attempt maybe, but a tragic one since it is doomed to fail in our physical world; however, your brain can be at any moment at any time. So, Let's paint the moment.
