The Essence of One Thousand & One Nights19 March 2021 This exhibition of paintings by Nasrin Shafiei were inspired by the well-known tales told by Shahrazad in order to save her life. One thousand and one nights, also known as The Arabian Nights, consists of the collections of various authors, translators and scholars over many centuries, rooting back to ancient and medieval Persian, Egyptian, Indian, Arabian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature.
“I gained my inspiration from the mysterious and colourful scenes through the pages of these stories. In essence, exhibiting and reflecting my journey, not only through reading the literature, but through my own ethnic and cultural background.”
Iranian born Nasrin Shafiei lives in Johannesburg and was trained and mentored by various Iranian and South African artists. She has a distinguished signature style inspired by classic and neo-classic artists and artworks that are themed around human features and beauty.
