Rene has the fascinating ability to explore her own artistry and travel through Iranian mysticism, poetry, and expressions...

Rene's work captivates the viewer, immersing them in a world of characters and storytelling through a sophisticated palette of colors and unique textures inspired by Iran. In Rene's art, a peacock is not simply a 'peacock,' but may symbolize something deeper and more meaningful

The fluid paintings of Rene Saheb are a translation of her playful mind. Hers is a world of words and colors. Her ability to work in different mediums Is also another aspect of her work. She engages with the world and offers Windows to her imagination and her colorful perception of humanity.

To me, Art is the experience of living in the present moment. The moment in which most people find themselves lost. In such a moment, I find myself outside of my personal studio, whether 200 or 2000 kilometers away from home. The distance takes me closer to myself and my art, it takes me beyond the 2d world of papers and media, where my creative mind flies high and reaches the untouched ideas.
My works are focused on the social misunderstandings between cultures and they reflect the conscious and unconscious states of a civilized mind, where I express them as metaphors, innuendos, parables, or proverbs.
My travels and lifestyle experiences at the art residencies in different countries as well as the cultural adventure within the different languages and native cultures have brought me a deeper understanding of those social misunderstandings and has helped me to live better And to create better art.
