| Professional Life
In 2020, Hejazi sisters started collaborating together. Having come from two different artistic backgrounds, i.e. Graphic Design and Painting, they merged their unique abilities into a novel and creative form of art. In their shared experience, the repetitive sequence of historical events is disrupted and ancient and contemporary times are intertwined. In their works, the relationship between tangible and real elements is portrayed in such a way that the created illusory situation point to symbolic meanings. Mysterious forces encompass people, animals, plants and objects. In this eerie word and in the heart of the horror stories, the strangest events seem normal and natural. Fear of emptiness and futility of material life causes a change that eventually expands the scope of visual memory and imagination. The characters are products of the artist’s view of this time and this place, of their imagination and also sometimes borrowed from old images and narratives; All intended to praise life and to express humanity’s pain and finally to realize imagery that allows for fantasy to overcome reality.
