Contemporary abstract artist · London, Camden Town
Freedom, in
a state of becoming.
Negar Afshar creates tactile paintings in which colour, gesture and geometry test the boundaries between control and surrender. Her work explores freedom, identity, femininity and transformation through personal, political and spiritual experience.
The paintings inhabit the moment when structure gives way—and a new form of freedom begins.
The practiceInside the work
Structure holds the tension. Colour breaks it open.
Grids, circles, rings and impasto surfaces recur as frameworks, souls and forces in motion. Layer by layer, restraint collides with release; vulnerability becomes courage, and rupture becomes possibility.
