About Dandelion and Wishes La Decoración Del Arte De La Pared

El arte mural de la obra maestra Dandelion and Wishes es una colección de cuencos y platos de resina creados por el artista Mahnaz Karimi especializado en arte abstracto, arte de resina y arte fluido. Está creado y formado de tal manera que muestra su inspiración de la naturaleza y las semillas de diente de león. Los colores claros y transparentes aplicados en esta obra de arte son el blanco, el color del diente de león, el gris que muestra la dimensión y las sombras, y el oro que refleja la luz del sol. La forma en que se instalan las piezas en la pared puede representar mejor la sensación de flotar, volar y libertad, que son las características únicas de los dientes de león.

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.
