Bio: Maryam Salour
I was born in Tehran and so my being is full of acacias, huge old maples,
running water, towering mountains and the soft desert. My university
education and first work experience was in Paris and so my soul is filled
with this cityıs fineness and its beautiful cobbled streets. I often ask
myself, is it not important for a lover of art to know how the artist feels
and thinks and how much is she capable of transforming spiritual experience
to the material world? The intimacy the artist feels with herself and the
surrounding world and the resulting meditation, is the prime factor in the
final work of art she is capable of producing. And finally the artistıs
search for the deepest secret in her soul is more valuable than the tendency
to define or change the world. This process of creativity is inevitable and
as vital as breathing to the end.
