# Painting
As an Iranian growing up and living in Europe, Golnaz has a particular cultural lens. Drawn by her Persian heritage, she has an ongoing project of painting Nomads of Iran, including Nomadic children. Through her personal and spiritual painting process, she uses mandalas and channels hidden messages (including Persian words and expressions) which add “magic” and another depth to her paintings. As such Golnaz regards painting as an alchemical process. Some of the children are described as being ‘lost in the fabric of life’. Through her portraits you will observe that new life and meaning is given to all these faces who look back at you and at the world.
