ABOUT FIROOZYVES
Firoozyves (Firooza Aubry), born in India in 1955, has lived for several years in India, Germany and Canada.
It was while she was working in Germany as a foreign-language secretary that she started experimenting with painting on silk and held five solo exhibits of her work in 1989 and 1990.
She then returned to Auroville, India, where she worked as a translator, teacher and administrator but art remained an important part of her life and she participated in various collective art shows and held solo exhibits in India, Canada and Germany. In 2009, she moved to Canada where she currently resides.
Firoozyves' spontaneous landscapes take you on a journey into unknown worlds and encourage you to dive into a firework of vibrant blues, burnt umber and yellow ochre. The eye travels along cosmic rays which are constantly changing, thus creating mysterious three-dimensional effects, depending on the light and the position of the viewer. Firoozyves does not want to convey a particular message, but encourages the observer to be free in one's own individual interpretation.
It is only through the ease with which her brushstroke travels on the silk that one is still reminded of the fundamental principles of the impressionist. Her originality is documented by an unusual painting style, which has nothing to do anymore with traditional silk painting.
