Sarrah Zadeh’s work explores the dynamic and intricate dance of feminine and masculine energies within the conscious mind and their impact on society. Through an introspective and inquisitive lens, Zadeh delves into the often unspoken and hidden influences that shape our actions and thoughts.
Central to Zadeh's work is an exploration of the intangible world of consciousness. By delving into the depths of the human mind, she seeks to uncover the unseen forces that govern our daily lives and societal norms. She does this with paintings that explore societal taboos in detailed narrative-style paintings and also paintings that have repetitive motifs such as hearts, geometric shapes, and mandalas. In this way, she balances the “serious” with the seemingly “frivolous” and explores how our society suggests which is more masculine and which is more feminine. This duality in her work demonstrates a profound ability to balance thought-provoking content with the sheer pleasure of visual enjoyment.
Primarily an oil painter, Zadeh also enjoys working with a multitude of mediums to convey her ideas. Her art employs symbolism and a range of colors to bring humor and insight to strong and sometimes challenging subjects.
Originally from Iran, Zadeh spends her time living between Colombia and the USA, holding a BA in Art from the University of Houston.
