Inviting you to the Persian Miniature Painting Exhibition by Shima Talebi from 25th - 29th Jun from 10:30am - 5pm.

The bright and pure coloring of the Persian miniature is one of its most Striking features. Normally all the pigments used are Mineral-based ones which keep their bright colors very well if kept in proper conditions, the main exception being silver, mostly used to depict water, which will oxidize to a rough-edged black over time. The conventions of Persian miniatures changed slowly; faces are normally youthful and seen in three-quarters view, with a plump rounded lower face better suited to portraying typical Central Asian or Chinese features than those of most Persians. Lighting is even, without shadows or chiaroscuro.

The talented painter Shima holds this solo exhibition at Lamakaan. She is painting professionally since she 17 years age and her style is the combination of traditional Miniature and carpet patterns.
