About Dandelion and Wishes Decoración De Arte De Parede

A obra de arte mural de parede Dandelion and Wishes é unha colección de cuncas e placas de resina creadas polo artista Mahnaz Karimi especializada en Arte Abstracto, Resina Art e Fluid Art. É creado e formado de xeito que mostre a súa inspiración na natureza e as sementes de dente de león. As cores claras e transparentes aplicadas nesta obra son o branco, a cor do dente de león, o gris que mostra a dimensión e os tons e o ouro que reflicte a luz solar. A forma en que as pezas están instaladas na parede pode amosar mellor a sensación de flotar, voar e liberdade, que son as características únicas dos dentes 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.
