The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is paint or painted.
This struck me as an excellent opportunity to put up some works by my friend Elahe Heidari. Elahe is an Iranian artist who is well regarded in her home country and who is beginning to gain international exposure. More of her work can be seen at
elaheheidari.com
Examples of Elahe's work at an exhibition of Iranian artists in London
Promotional flyer from a solo exhibition in Iran
Early work given to me by the artist
Also stretching the point a little here are a couple of Elahe's drawings that I own:
