With an academic background in science and a professional practice in psychotherapy, her work is shaped by a deep interest in perception, emotion, memory, and the unconscious.\r\u003cbr\u003eWorking primarily with large-scale, highly textured and vibrant paintings, Naghme creates visually immersive works that shift between abstraction, symbolism, and intuitive expression. Her paintings often incorporate layered surfaces, dimensional elements, fluorescent colour, and details that reveal themselves gradually through sustained viewing and changing light.\r\u003cbr\u003eHer work has expanded beyond individual canvases into The Fluid Gallery, an evolving immersive installation concept in which paintings are experienced collectively through space, light, movement, and music. Her installations have been presented in public and festival environments in Toronto, including the Toronto Wellness Festival at Mel Lastman Square.\r\u003cbr\u003eAcross both individual works and installations, Naghme's practice invites viewers to slow down, look beyond the immediate image, and discover how their own perception shapes what they see.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy work explores the space between what we see and what we experience internally. Drawing from my background in science, psychotherapy, and visual art, I am interested in perception, emotion, memory, symbolism, and the unconscious—and in how the same image can evoke entirely different experiences in different people.\r\u003cbr\u003eMy paintings are highly textured, layered, and often dimensional, combining intense colour, organic forms, abstraction, and psychedelic visual elements. Many contain details that are not immediately visible. I want the viewer to stay with the work, move around it, and continually discover something new rather than understand the image in a single glance.\r\u003cbr\u003eThis practice has expanded into The Fluid Gallery, an evolving immersive installation in which paintings leave the conventional gallery wall and become part of a larger sensory environment. Large-scale works interact with UV and black light, music, space, movement, and live dance performance, allowing the installation to transform over time. Colours shift, fluorescent elements emerge after dark, and the movement of performers creates an ongoing dialogue between the human body, the artwork, and the surrounding space.\r\u003cbr\u003eI am particularly interested in presenting these installations within wellness, mindfulness, psychedelic-art, and public environments, where art can become an experience rather than simply an object to observe. Visitors are invited to move through the work, slow down, notice their emotional responses, and become active participants in their own experience of the space.\r\u003cbr\u003eFor me, art is not something that ends at the edge of the canvas. The painting, the environment, the music, the moving body, and the viewer become parts of the same experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-embrace-5","title":"The Embrace","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16x48x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe painting is about the feeling we all search for, a place where we can finnaly let go and feel safe enough to experience peace\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naghme Amin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50347346460775,"sku":null,"price":1800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1790641165_45845.jpg?v=1790693171"},{"product_id":"the-man","title":"The Man","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12x48x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis painting is about endurance about holding it all and still choosing to stand. from the centre the man stood up he did not run away he faced it and rose from everything, every lines, thought or pressure that tried to pull him down\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naghme Amin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50347347312743,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1790641420_58059.jpg?v=1790693270"},{"product_id":"the-piano-1","title":"The Piano","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e80x31x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusic is a central element in my artistic practice, and this painting was created as a visual expression of that relationship.
