Mina Donyavi is an Iranian artist born 1981 in Tehran/ Iran.
Dancing and painting for Mina are very deeply connected and in balance with each other. Whenever her expression on canvas become blurred she finds balance again in dancing to relieve her darkest emotions and restore peace
After experiencing with different styles Mina figured out she is more interested in expressionism, as a way to express herself. She always have been fascinated by the behavior and reaction of people’s minds. To know ones's reaction better made her learn about who she is herself. And to find peace inside. To tell a person’s story with lines, colors and expressions can tell their story. The one with the right view is the one able to read the story. This shows peoples mind in retrospective.
Her portraits are known as powerful with strong colors and lines that are coming from her imagination that she believes she met them in another life. People from different worlds and with different appearances have a story in every single paintings.
