Maryam Mohry (b. 1979 Tehran) has had the habit of making cut-outs from children’s books to create her own stories since when she was a child. She takes every single image, film, ordinary event, moment, and thought as a serious source of inspiration, making small sketches that eventually translate into narrartives in her artworks.
Maryam Mohry employs watercolor and collage to create her thought-provoking, amusing, and enchanting works on paper. Her work stands out for its narrative quality, fueled by a lighthearted naive sensibility, and a sense of sarcasm. Be it a large-scale drawing with multiple characters or small works with a single figure, she beautifully merges the realms of storytelling, love of nature, and environmental advocacy. Mohry maintains her signature playfulness and wit while addressing environmental concerns in her drawings and collages.
