Ahurani

Painting Exhibition

By Mohsen Keiany

21st to 31st August 2015

Statement

This exhibition is dedicated to all Iranian ladies in honor and remembrance of Ahurani, whom we need today more than ever as Iran, our motherland, dries out because of water shortage. Ahurani is a water goddess from Persian mythology. She watches over rainfall as well as still waters. She was invoked for health, healing, prosperity, and growth. She is either the wife or the daughter of the great god of creation and goodness Ahura Mazda. The essence of human suffering and the fate of my people are written by Ahurani as an image of a Persian lady. There is a need for Ahurani as we suffer severely in seasons of exceptionally low rainfall and shortage of water.
