Introducing
Sometimes you want to do something you love. You have worked hard to achieve it. But others don't want you to do that. They are stronger and put obstacle in your way to avoid being seen.
This painting was created according to the conditions that exist in my country for a group of female artists.
In Iran, for religious reasons, it is forbidden for women to sing in front of men, and for this reason, many female singers are prevented from performing concerts and releasing music albums.
However, it is not forbidden for women to study music and play instruments, and they can participate in concerts or teach. However, in some more religious cities, it is forbidden for women to even play instruments in concerts. There have been many times when a band that had a female musician in it was denied permission to play a concert and was told that they had to remove the female musician in order to go on.
This is very upsetting for a musician who has spent years trying to become a professional in her work, especially since this behavior is only because of her gender.
This painting was painted with this issue in mind. I have shown a woman musician who has a barrier placed in front of her so that she cannot be seen, but her beauty and strength has broken through the barriers and turned even them into something as beautiful as a flower.
