About
Vanecha Roudbaraki exhibits « Iranica »
Acrylic on canvas, 180cm X 450cm, 2026
This work was created between March and April 2026, in connection with the Sun and Lion movement, a symbol of the Iranian people massacred in January 2026 by the theocratic regime.
This painting features the heroes of this movement, as well as those of previous movements, notably Woman, Life, Freedom.
They are depicted alongside the phoenix, a mythical and immortal bird that rises from its ashes and whose tears heal the deepest wounds.
The technique used is akin to a fresco, in order to represent the demonstrations in the streets and to restore their collective energy.
FIAP Jean Monnet, in support of the Iranian people, offers you this moving exhibition.
