Although humans are not physically present in Bita Vakili's paintings, she says that the “Guardian of Treasure” series is a celebration of those who have contributed to the earth's beauty.
I have produced no more than 280 paintings in the last thirty years, at most, and I am pleased that at least 200 of them have been sold to renowned collections. All of them are visible. I am very pleased that my latest exhibition at the Nian Art Gallery in Tehran sold extremely well, despite Iran's terrible economic situation.
Bita Vakili, an Iranian female painter, sold her most expensive work to date, "Dreaming New York," for $45,000 at Christie's Dubai auction on April 18, 2012. Vakili's departure from her previous genre of painting, for which she was well-known up until that point, distinguishes this piece.
For the past few years, Bita Vakili, an Iranian painter with a remarkable track record in Middle Eastern auctions, has been moving her works from purely abstract themes to figurative ones on her well-known abstract platform.
Iranart:The new paintings of BitaVakili have been shown at E 1 Art Galllery. "The Garden Of History" continues till 4th of february.
A solo exhibition by artist Bita Vakili is underway at e1 art gallery in Tehran, the proceeds of which will go to charity.
