Elahe Farzi

Elahe Farzi develops atmospheric paintings that dissolve the boundary between observation and emotion, drawing viewers into suspended moments of light and mood. Her large-scale oil-on-canvas works often depict shifting cloudscapes, rendered through soft, layered brushwork that captures the transience of natural phenomena. Rather than functioning as straightforward depictions of landscape, these compositions hover between figuration and abstraction, encouraging slow, introspective viewing. In parallel, Farzi creates intricate colored-pencil drawings marked by their intimacy and quiet intensity. These works, often developed during times of global disruption, carry an emotional charge that reflects themes of solitude, care, and memory. Their poetic restraint and subtle detail evoke interior states as much as external realities. Through a nuanced handling of color, rhythm, and form, Farzi’s practice cultivates a contemplative space that resists spectacle in favor of emotional resonance. Her work invites viewers to dwell in the ephemeral, positioning painting as a tactile and reflective medium through which the intangible becomes perceptible. ...
