Product Description
Mahvash paints her poetry, and she writes poetry with her paintbrush. The mood is of looking at love, life, death, relationships and, most of all, of the adventure of being on the journey of self discovery itself, of growth and being connected, in harmony with the universe and with god. Finding happiness and peace as a woman within one’s own heart and soul is the destination of this journey.
Most of all, she looks at all the rides, the merry-go-rounds and all the rides, the roller-coaster rides that women get on and off just to experience womanhood. She looks at it all, she paints it all, and she writes about all, in a delightfully cleared-eyed and compassionate way.
Her tenderness and strength leave an attic window of her soul open so you can come in, browse and be her guest in her simple house. Hear her voice, which is your voice and every woman’s voice… reading through the pages of her book, you will realize that her imagery and her poetry are telling the tale of your dreams, and they are indeed every women’s painted dreams.
