Artist Statement
Using Healing-Energy to create original art is my life’s work. I meditate daily to stay in the flow of Divine Creative Energy. Divine Energy Flow helps me create art that is not only Visually Pleasing, but also Tranquil, Nurturing, and Loving. As a Pisces, WATER is my element. I often paint with acrylics, watercolors, and inks. I infuse Energy into my art through the use of my hands, body, crystals, wood, and metals. I use sand, minerals, and fossils which represent the EARTH. I sometimes torch my work to incorporate the element of FIRE. Using various tools, I add the element of AIR to blow the paint which creates a sense of movement. Although I often use high-flow acrylic paints to achieve a sense of movement and energy, I also use heavy-body acrylics applied with pallet knives. I sometimes employ the use of regular acrylic paint, markers, charcoal, pastels, and alcohol ink with a brush and other tools blending colors and textures to create a translucent and airy feel. My artworks exude an energetic aura, captivating viewers with its vibrant and lively composition. The paints dance across the canvas, creating a dynamic visual experience that seems to leap off the surface. making each piece thought-provoking, leaving observers contemplating its deeper meanings. The joyful essence of my artworks is palpable, emanating an infectious sense of happiness and optimism. It invites the audience to share in its celebration of life and the human experience. Despite its contemporary flair, the artworks possess a timeless quality, transcending the boundaries of its creation and resonating with audiences for generations to come. Beneath the surface, a spiritual essence shines through, connecting the viewer to something larger than themselves that sparks a profound sense of introspection and connection to the divine. In this convergence of energy, thought, joy, timelessness, and spirituality, the artwork becomes a mesmerizing masterpiece that captivates the soul. I paint because I believe it is my life’s purpose to bring joy to the world. My art’s healing energy elevates the living and working spaces where ever it is exhibited. Works of art are not just art, but rather a human connection, a conversation piece that is thought-provoking. My art helps the viewers express their own thoughts and feelings and brings joy and energy to any environment. Love is the ultimate answer. Firoozeh “…the basic energy of manifestation, as posited by various people and sometimes termed Cosmic Consciousness. In this broader sense, it may be construed as the fundamental substance of the universe…” ….William Nathaniel Greer
Artist Bio
Her name is pronounced Fee-roo’-zeh. Having lived the first 18 years of her life in Iran, leaving there in 1979 was a bittersweet decision for Firoozeh. Though she perhaps would never see Iran again, she had to leave because the new Islamic regime did not allow Baha’i children to pursue higher education. Upon her arrival in Atlanta, Georgia, she learned that Americans were taken hostage by the new government. She was grateful and relieved to have left Iran not a moment too soon in order to be able to continue her education. She studied basic courses at Oglethorpe University, in Atlanta, GA, and then transferred to The University of Bridgeport in Connecticut to study fine arts and industrial design. She has thrived as a professional artist for more than 35 years, working from her Atlanta area studio. Her art has been sold in over 50 Galleries, Museum shops, and specialty boutiques across the US. After her training in Divine Energy, she has been creating artworks that are uplifting in a world that is in desperate need of peace, joy, and healing. “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time”… Thomas Merton
