Statement:

Hossein Edalatkhah's new “Quarantine Orchids” paintings are a poignant and inspiring tribute to the beauty and resilience of nature during a difficult time. These works capture the exquisite delicacy and vibrant colors of the orchids that bloomed in Edalatkhah’s New York apartment during the Covid-19 lockdown. Potted in hand-painted Royal Copenhagen porcelain the paintings showcase the skill and sensitivity of the artist, with rich, textured details that bring the flowers to life on the canvas.

Hossein’s use of color and light is especially striking, imbuing each painting with a warm, inviting glow that speaks to the hope and resilience of the human spirit. These works are a true testament to the power of art to inspire and uplift, and a reminder that even in the darkest times, beauty can still flourish.
