In Iranian literature and mythology, fascinating narratives about demons (divs) have been recounted. Some of these divs are akin to demons, while others coexist with humans. Some exhibit emotions similar to humans, while others are entirely opposite. Typically, divs enter the lives of Iranian children through childhood tales and folklore. Yes, I have heard many stories from my mother or grandmother about divs. But why have they stepped onto my white papers?
The blue divs, they are always with me. Sometimes they hide, and other times they scream out loud. The initial days of drawing divs coincided with a period of depression for me. I was engrossed in painting when this beloved creature emerged from my heart and became part of my life. Now, several years have passed since that day, but my blue div has seen many days and experienced many emotions with me. One day it helps me cry and immerse myself. Another day, it just kisses my cheeks. By watching the blue div, you delve into the most intimate feelings of the artist and the div takes a step into your world. These feelings mostly portray sorrow, mourning, and loneliness. I usually escape from these emotions, but now the blue div helps me touch and accept them. This is not a project that ends with a few works; in my opinion, this collection accompanies me until the end of my life, and I am excited to explore more facets of emotions with the div and other characters, delving deeper into our shared world.
