TITLE: Death is the First Name of Life

This painting by Ms. Shadi Esna Ashri features a vibrant, floral design with birds, executed in a style reminiscent of traditional Persian art. The composition is divided into two panels, each showcasing a colorful array of flowers and foliage, interspersed with two birds. The birds are prominently positioned, one in each panel, with feathers painted in hues of red, yellow, and blue. The flowers are rendered in a mix of colors, including red, pink, yellow, blue, and green, creating a lively and cheerful scene. The background is a light, neutral tone that highlights the vividness of the colors.

She started painting in her childhood and was a student of Morteza Katouzian for over ten years. She has always painted in realism style and had many solo and group exhibitions internationally. However, since 2011 she decided to do something for herself that had a more personal character, representing her.
