Veils of light … Veils of life … 
Shahrnaz Monfared paints the colors of her life.  Sharp contrasts, organic and synthetic forms juxtaposed to each other…hard edges and lines woven through atmospheric abyss. 
Shahrnaz's works appear as aerial views of an earth and civilization undergoing physical metamorphosis and geological change.
