This painting belongs to my Flourish series that celebrates Spring.
Through flowing compositions and vibrant hues, I translate intangible experiences - joy, wonder, or introspection - into colour, form, and movement, evoking the emotional resonance of a place perceived through the mind’s eye and shaped by the heart.
Artist Bio: Mina Afra is an Iranian-born Australian painter based in Melbourne. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Tehran University of Art, where she developed a strong foundation in visual storytelling and design thinking that continues to inform her artistic practice.
Working primarily in oil, with occasional mixed-media works, Mina draws inspiration from the landscapes of Australia, her Persian heritage, and the emotional experiences that emerge through encounters with nature. Her paintings move between observation and imagination, translating the energy, movement and feeling of a place into vibrant colour and fluid forms.
Her practice explores connection — between inner and outer landscapes, memory and place, heritage and new beginnings. In her recent lion series, Persian cultural imagery becomes a language through which she explores memory, courage, belonging and the enduring symbolic presence of the lion in Iranian culture.
