About Dandelion and Wishes La Decoració D’Art De Paret

L'obra mestra de l'art de paret Dandelion and Wishes és una col·lecció de bols i plaques de resina creades per l'artista Mahnaz Karimi especialitzada en art abstracte, resina i art fluït. Està creada i formada de manera que mostri la seva inspiració en la naturalesa i les llavors de dent de lleó. Els colors clars i transparents aplicats en aquesta obra d'art són el blanc, el color del dent de lleó, el gris que mostra la dimensió i les tonalitats i l'or que reflecteix la llum del sol. La manera d’instal·lar les peces a la paret pot representar el sentit de la flotació, el vol i la llibertat, que són les característiques úniques dels dents de lleó.

Production Technology: Powdered pigments, paste pigments and ink colors are mixed with a ratio of one-to-two of resin hardener and epoxy resin and are poured to the silicon molds. Three layers of resin are used to have better shades and volume in the plates. After resin gets elastic (after about 6 hours), resin plates are taken out of molds (de-molded) and get formed and designed by hand to create desired shapes, sizes and depths. Therefore, each piece has a unique shape, depth and form.
Design Challenge: Changing the function of resin from flat paintings and trays to three dimensional artworks was the challenging part of my production process.
Another challenge was the way I should install them to better convey the message I had in mind.
Research: The tools used are various Pigment Colors, Ink Pigments and Paste Pigments, Epoxy Resin, Hardener, Molds, Heat Gun and Torch.
The applications and software used are Circle Cutter, InstaSize, Inshot and Painter.
Inspiration: It has always been my concern to make an artwork which makes my audience contemplate besides creating beauty in art, to spark the idea of idealism (Utopia) in the audiences' mind in the modern world. Dandelion, which is an element of nature, symbolizes happiness for children and the best message of happiness for children is a world without war. The whole collection will be donated as a peace Wall Art to UNESCO on September 21 (The International Day of Peace) when the dandelions reach the number 195 (The number of the countries in the world).
Project Duration: The project started in December 2019 in Tehran. It took each piece 24 hours to be totally dry, therefore the whole collection finished in January 2020. The whole project will have been finished by September 2020 to be donated to UNESCO.
Operation Flow: The pieces can be installed in various ways to depict different ideas and concepts. Fasteners with 10 cm length are used to show dimension and light reflections better.
