Shirin Salehi

Dentro de un agua extraña, mi sombra

These works by the artist Shirin Salehí were made during different stays in Madrid, Florence and New York between 2011 and 2018. They give an account of her work from the moment she found her own voice by using paper as a place where something happens, not as a support. She acts on the paper with great care, transforms it and lets it dictate the way. An inscription, an incision, a drawing or a writing occupy the space, which is filled with feelings and questions. With the same delicacy he will face different supports. According to the expressive or spatial needs, he will incorporate other elements such as water, sound, installation or video.

Reviews

WITHIN STRANGE WATERS, MY SHADOW

WITHIN STRANGE WATERS, MY SHADOW

ANA MARTINEZ DE AGUILAR

The works of Shirin Salehi are made in different rooms in Madrid, Florence and New York, between 2011 and 2018, and show us how the artist begins to develop her own identity and language through the treatment of paper as the main material in which she deals. to reflect the passage of time and the need to leave a mark.

The materials are not only tools or materials to work on, they are also the final result of the work. The thoroughness and simplicity with which Shirin Salehi works his works makes us understand how poetry and silence characterize his work, which he considers to be the antidote for suffering.
