I'm Mehrnoush Esmaeili, a freelance illustrator and painter from Iran with an M.A. in "Illustration" from Tehran Art University. I've exhibited my work in Iran, Taiwan, and Italy, focusing on human identity issues. I believe life is a captivating puzzle shaped by personal authority and destiny. My art highlights geometry, linear value, and discipline in everyday life, portraying peace, happiness, and prosperity through the balanced interaction of creatures and nature.
I work in a neo-cubist style, starting with manual sketches and drawings, combining them in Photoshop, and finally, using Gouache, Acrylic, and Pen Drawing on cardboard. My artworks feature a geometry-based structure, combining human, animal, plant, and abstract forms to depict life events like assembling a puzzle. The circle form in my art emphasizes life's continuity despite ups and downs.
I explore emotional states and human concerns in interaction with life's conditions, recognizing them as an inevitable part of our existence. Additionally, I address the problems we encounter in life, affecting our minds and bodies, that we ultimately navigate through.

Emotional states and human concerns in interaction with conditions they face are an inevitable part of the life system.
Furthermore, there are problems at some point in our lives that affect our minds and even our body that have to go through them in the end.
This matter formed in my mind during the hard time of covid 19.
The bird is a symbol of the immortality of the soul. Also, the circle is a sign of the creation and continuity of life.
Here, the bird's interaction with the circle represents the eternal life cycle.

Encountering súrprising event like falling in love at the time we don't expect drives us confused for a while. Especially when there is unbelievable full compatibility that describes the opposite but complementary.

I believe even the ugliest and worst creatures in the universe have a positive side to their creation. For instance, beetles look so disgusting at first sight.
Although we all believe in the benefits of insects to the ecosystem, we make a big difference between ladybugs and other cockroaches.
Let's be more friendly with nature.

The problems are similar to being stuck in a round hollow. We do make every kind of effort to overcome them. These challenging times are part of a life cycle that finally ends. Definitely, after all the intolerable times we have to go through, there would be an enormous relief that makes us stronger and softer.
