"Dentro de un agua extraña, mi sombra"

Ana Martínez de Aguilar

These works were created by the artist Shirin Salehí during different visits she made to Madrid, Florence and New York between 2011 and 2018. They shed light on her artistic work from the moment when she found her own voice by using paper as a place where something occurs, and not as a medium.

She works on the paper with the utmost care, transforming it and allowing it to lead her the way. The space is occupied by inscriptions, incisions, drawings or writing, a deluge of feelings and questions.

She tackles different mediums with the same care and, according to the expressive or spatial needs, incorporates other elements such as water, sound, an installation or video.
