IranArt : The joint initiative between Vesta Color and Mojdeh Gallery is designed to support artistic talent and foster a new, vibrant art ecosystem. One of the key participants in this project is Rezvan Yaraei, a young painter and University of Tehran graduate who actively pursues a professional career in painting. In line with the project’s goals, she has created an original work using diverse Vesta Color products, which she has presented to the company.
The untitled piece, part of her "Mountains" series, is an acrylic on canvas measuring 100×100 cm, created in 1403 (2024–2025). On this occasion, we had the chance to speak with the artist:
_Please share your artistic biography with us.
Rezvan Yaraei: I was born in 1996 and hold a degree in Painting from the University of Tehran. My recent works are currently on view at a three-person exhibition focused on nature at Mojdeh Gallery. Over the past few years—from 2022 to 2025—my works have been featured in several group exhibitions, including at the Didi Museum Gallery, as well as in themed exhibitions such as a still life show in an online gallery and others.
_Can you tell us about your painting series?
Rezvan Yaraei: I’ve developed three main series: "Departure Within," "Postcard Collection," and "Mountains."
"Departure Within" explores my personal and emotional experiences; I’ve aimed to express inner feelings abstractly through the use of color and form.
"Postcard Collection" leans toward surreal themes, employing abstract approaches to space and form creation.
_What are you currently working on?
Rezvan Yaraei: I’m currently working on the "Mountains" series. Some pieces from this collection are on display at Mojdeh Gallery at the moment.
_What is your most important upcoming plan?
Rezvan Yaraei: My primary goal is to hold a solo exhibition and continue developing my artistic ideas.
_Please tell us about the artwork you created for the Vesta Color and Mojdeh Gallery joint project.
Rezvan Yaraei: The "Mountains" series, which I developed for the Vesta Color and Mojdeh Gallery project, is rooted in personal sensory experiences from everyday life and my travels to northern Iran. I tried to depict the mountains through colors and forms that originate from within me. Each piece in the series reflects the conditions of my own life and the society around me. In some paintings, I’m even present through a specific color that symbolizes myself.
_How long have you been familiar with Vesta Color products?
Rezvan Yaraei: I’ve known about Vesta Color since my student days, and I’ve always tried to use high-quality materials, including Vesta’s paints.
_If you were to recommend just one product from Vesta to other artists, what would it be?
Rezvan Yaraei: I would definitely recommend Vesta’s acrylic and oil paints—they’re excellent in quality.
_What’s your opinion about the Vesta Color and Mojdeh Gallery collaboration project?
Rezvan Yaraei: I believe this collaboration is one of the best things to happen for the gallery, the artist, and the Vesta brand. It provides a supportive and professional environment for artistic work, and I’m truly happy to be part of it.
