It was the end of spring in Teheran when Farah Notash was born
to a middle class family of Azari origin.
After loosing her mother at the age of 2 ½ years she was
attracted to make objects from the soil of their little garden.
Gradually she started to enjoy drawing, singing and dancing.
The waves of political storms embraced the life of the family.
Prisoner anxieties and sorrow of the nearest relatives filled many
years of her childhood. Later, the economical properties of her
family were plundered and fined. From then on she gained bitter
experiences and the knowledge of certain facts which have remained
to the present time in her life.
During elementary school and later in high school, her attraction
towards art was outstanding and clearly distinguished. After completing
high school in Teheran, she studied and experienced art in various
European academies.
The use of different materials, experiencing varying styles and
changing from one field of art to the other, occurs to her without
hesitation. This happens due to the emotional, aesthetical need
for the best choice to express the subject. She uses symbols, shades
or fine lines, soft or hard motives, harmonizing or contrasting
colors right through the social problems. Valuable to her are ceramics,
wood, bronze, chalk or stone in sculptures; oil, acrylic and water
colors in painting; transparent or opaque colors or glossy ceramic
objects, as well as mirrors or any other material to create her
art pieces.
Her painting ranges from modern to classic, still life portraits
to landscapes but always she stays a serious social realist. Studies
of world mysticism throughout history, parallel to philosophical,
social studies have influenced her life and art.
She is very sensitive and aware of the movement and social problems
in the world, showing no borders in her life or her art. Serenading
poems in Persian, English and Azari languages and also singing them,
comes as a true emotional choice of the language in her need to
express herself.
She does not believe art as being an instrument but a path which
opens windows to the hearts -
 - a kind of
living with growth in love.
- a challenge
of dynamic living or dying for love.
