This original Gol-o Morgh (Flower & Bird) painting was created in the tradition of Qajar art. The central composition is surrounded by an original Floral Islimi (Islimi-ye Goldar) design, a highly sophisticated form of Persian illumination in which flowing arabesque motifs are interwoven with floral elements. Due to its complexity and the level of precision required, this style is rarely encountered in contemporary artworks.

Through this work, the artist sought not only to celebrate the beauty of the Qajar Gol-o Morgh tradition but also to contribute to the preservation of intricate decorative techniques that form an important part of Persian artistic heritage. The delicate rendering and detailed shading of the flowers required exceptional patience and craftsmanship, and the completion of the work took approximately one year.

Single illuminated painting on paper, gouache, watercolour & Persian ink, heightened in gold, 41 x 50cm; framed & glazed.
