Exploring Human Emotions: Participation in the ‘Emotion’ Exhibition at Cista Arts

Nasim Yazdani is participating in the online group exhibition Emotion at Cista Arts, which runs from September 1st to September 30th, 2024. This exhibition is a unique and vibrant platform that brings together a diverse group of artists, all exploring the vast and intricate spectrum of human emotions through their work.

For this exhibition, Nasim has contributed two pieces from her latest collection titled The Essence. These paintings, The Essence 2401 and The Essence 2408, are both acrylic on canvas, with dimensions of 80 x 60 cm and 40 x 60 cm respectively. In creating these works, Nasim used the human face as a central element to explore the essence of humanity through abstraction. The collection is deeply inspired by one of her poems: ‘We are all light. We are all shadow. We are all colour. We are all rainbow.’ This guiding thought drives the concept behind the paintings, as she seeks to move beyond the physical surface and into the interconnectedness that unites everything in the universe.

Nasim Yazdani’s goal with The Essence is to encourage viewers to look past their apparent differences and recognise the common essence that binds all human beings together. In a world that often highlights distinctions, Nasim believes it is crucial to remember that, at a deeper level, all humans are connected.

Participating in Emotion has given Nasim Yazdani the chance to continue exploring themes that are central to her artistic practice—celebrating diversity and provoking thoughtful reflection.
