Acrylic on canvas "Breath of a Kilim" draws inspiration from the oral traditions of the Qashqai people, a collection of Iranian clans celebrated for their exquisite pile carpets and other woven wool crafts. This myth highlights the deep reverence the Qashqai community holds for women, portraying them as powerful forces of nature capable of creating beauty from nothing. In the tale, women are given white wool to weave a kilim, and once it is finished, the patterns come to life, calling upon the women to add color. Lacking dyed wool, these resourceful weavers tap into their essence, using elements of their bodies to breathe life into the designs and infuse them with vibrancy.

Negin Fallah is a multidisciplinary visual artist from Iran, currently residing in Roma, Italy, where she is pursuing her MFA in Printmaking at RUFA-Rome University of Fine Arts. Her artistic approach spans across various disciplines, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, stop motion, and performance art. Negin’s artistic journey began in 2006, immersed in the rich traditions of Iranian art, particularly in Tazhib (illuminated manuscript & Iranian mandala), Tasheer (flora and fauna), and Iranian Miniature. This journey was complemented by her academic pursuits, including Graphic Design (AA) at Hafez University in Tehran, Iran, and Interior Design (BA) at the Lebanese International University in Lebanon. Driven by a profound curiosity to trace the evolution of traditional Iranian art forms across diverse cultures, Negin undertook journeys to countries such as the UAE, Lebanon, India, and Turkey. Simultaneously, her childhood fascination with architecture and figurative drawing evolved into essential tools for articulating her artistic vision. Through her artwork, a perpetual dialogue unfolds between chaos and harmony, presence and absence, creation and destruction. The foundation of her artistic exploration delves into concepts encompassing human behavior, psychology, naturalism philosophy, literature, and mythology.
