Nadia Nabavi's profile

A Selection Of My Work

I would formally like to welcome you to my On-Line Art Gallery page.

My previous website went down a while ago and I have not had the time to open up a new one.

But alas here it is.

Feel free to LIKE my page through one of my many social media sites, and let your friends know.

To tell you a little bit about myself I should start off by saying I have been painting ever since I was in high school and have changed my style numerous times since then, as you will see.

I will try to arrange my paintings in chronological order so that you can see how my styles have changed over time.

My preference is to paint Oil on canvas but have done works in Acrylic, Water Color, Oil on Wood, as well as Mixed Media to name a few. I plan on experimenting more with different Medias when time permits.

In the future I would like to work with wax, Plexiglass, and hope to get into hand embellished prints so as to allow as many people to enjoy my paintings as possible.

I hope you enjoy my work and if you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to post them, or to get directly in contact with me.

Most of my works I will be posting are available for sale, but if they aren't I will specify if they are available for sale as a hand embellished print. 
 
Once again welcome to my Site and feel free to come back often.
Nadia Art Gallery:

Nadia Nabavi

Arranged in a Semi-Chronological Order.
HERD OF SHEEP

This is one of my early works. I call it "Herd of Sheep"

This painting is available for sale. Please contact me for details including media type, measurements and price.

HEAVY LOAD

This is another one of my early works. I call it "Heavy Load".

As you can see the poor donkey is carrying a lot on his back.

When I started painting I was taking what I would see in the real world and put it on the canvas.

Most of my work from this period is dealing with a much simpler time.

People going about their business in the village.

Every now and then when I look at my paintings they remind me of back home, and how much I miss it.

This work is available. Please contact me for more details.

WOMEN IN THE STREET

This painting is very similar to the previous two.

As you can see around this time a lot of my work had a look and feel that was common to all of them, including the colour scheme.

This painting is called "Women on the Street".This painting was sold a while ago, but like all of my work, holds a special place in my heart.

WOMEN IN THE MARKET

This next painting is dealing with a very similar topic to the last one. This one is called “Women at the Market”.

 By this time I started painting this I began to change my colour combinations. Opting for a slightly more real tone to the painting.

I think that by making the colours more neutral it gives the painting a more negative feel. What do you think.

This painting was sold a while ago but I remember I painting it like it was yesterday.

MARKET

Another related painting. This was was called “Market”.

Like most of my early works this one sold a while ago.

THE VILLAGE

By this point I was starting to finish my traditional phase.

Meaning villages,markets, and paintings of traditional scenes from Iran.

This painting is called“The Village”.

This work is still available please contact me for more details including size, media, price etc.

WALKING IN OLD MONTREAL

I did this painting after a trip to Old Montreal when I was a young lady.

That man reminded me so much of my father who was far away.

For that reason I was compelled to paint it. I called it “Walking in Old Montreal” .

This painting is still available and love the way it hangs on my wall.

If you are interested please feel free to contact me for more details.

WATERMELONS

In this next painting a reverted back to my original theme.

Back home when things were much simpler.

It is called "Watermelons".

I do remember they tasted much better at home :-)

CARPET WEAVER

This painting was one of my first detailed works.

I call it "Carpet Weaver".

It took considerably longer than all of my previous works.

I enjoyed the challenge and really liked the outcome.

If you like this theme, you will see many more similar works in the future.

This painting is still available, please feel free to contact me for further details.
COLLECTING WATER BY THE RIVER

Around this time I was trying to paint different topics, but I always went back to the tradition lifestyle.

I called this work, "Collecting water by the River".

It has been sold for some time. But every time I look at it I feel so peaceful and relaxed.

How does it make you feel.

DIRT ROAD

This next painting is called "Dirt Road".

Once again the backdrop for my canvas is life in the village.

I think you can notice that from my first painting my style has changed somewhat.

Even though the theme remains constant my brush stokes, texture, colour scheme and lighting etc. all have changed considerably.

Would you agree or disagree.

This painting is still available. Please contact me for more information.
BETWEEN FRIENDS

After being away for a few days I think it is time to start posting more paintings, what do you think.

This one is called "Between Friends". It was my first painting involving Doorway, and Aches. Many more to come.

This one is sold but available as a Hand Embellished Original Print. Please contact me for more details.
BLUE DOOR

I wanted to apologize for not uploading an new paintings in a while.

Something came up which cause me to neglect my site for a while, but it shouldn't happen again in some time.

This next work is called "Blue Door". This is another one of my first Door Paintings.

It has sold but I still wanted to post it since it demonstrates a change in my style.
THE BRIDGE

This painting "The Bridge" was a real departure from my earlier work and allowed me to work with reflections and different perspectives.

This painting is available in its original form as well as original hand embellished prints. please contact me for more information.
BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER

Back to back bridges, and one of my personal favorites for sentimentalreasons.

I call this one "Bridge Over The River"

It sold a while back but it is available for me to make handembellished original prints.

Please inquire for more details about the painting andordering it.

THE STORK 

This painting, "The Stork" is available.

During this period I was experimenting with some very dark colours.

This one was done during my Green Period.

"The Garden" is still available.

In Original, or Hand Embellished Original print.

For some reason this painting has always had a special place in my heart.

It is hard to explain but it has a lot of sentimental value to me.

What do you think about it.

THE CARPET WEAVER

"The Carpet Weaver" is sold but I love this painting.

It is not available in any form, besides prints on this site.

I put a lot of detail in the carpet.

I was still working with faces at this point.

Some people tell me that the girl looks like me a little.

I suppose I got inspiration from the mirror.

My work was more surreal, and dealing with the human form as can be seen in "Friendship".

This painting has been sold, and unfortunately not available for prints.
HOLY DOOR

The "Holy Door" is sold and not available as a Hand Embellished Print but I still think it is worth posting.

BATHING IN LAKE VICTORIA
 
"Bathing in Lake Victoria" is probably my favorite nude.

It has been sold for some time now. Unfortunately we can not even provide prints or hand embellished original prints of this work.

I am trying to pinpoint what I like most about this painting. I am not sure if its the color combinations, the position of the women, the shapes I used in contrast to each other, or perhaps the background, and the sky.

I cant put my finger on it but something about it just seems to draw people in.

Enjoy it and let me know what you think about it.
