SYNTHBRACKET

The title of the work, SYNTHBRACKET, alludes to a fusion of the senses, an invitation to experience the world through more than just sight. From the black frame, hands emerge as if drawn from the darkness, symbolising the intricate tapestry of perception: at once defining and limiting our vision, while also protecting and enabling it.
These glasses are not merely a tool for seeing, but an invitation to observe more deeply, to perceive the world through a multisensory embrace, where the act of seeing becomes an act of understanding.

Ayda Roozbayani is an Iranian artist who has committed her career to exploring a wide range of painting techniques. Working with diverse materials and surfaces, her pieces reflect themes of confusion, loneliness, and expectation. She began painting professionally at the age of 18, later earning a Bachelor of Arts in Painting from Alzahra University. Alongside her artistic practice, Roozbayani also has experience in teaching painting, drawing, and underglaze techniques.

Roozbayani's artistic practice focuses on figurative painting, combining modern and classical styles. She employs a variety of techniques, including oil, acrylic, watercolour, coloured pencil, and collage. Her work spans multiple surfaces such as paper, canvas, walls, glass, and ceramics.
At the heart of her artistic inquiry lies the complex relationship between humans and nature, and the emotional impact of industrialisation on human emotions and psychological states in contemporary life. Water appears as a recurring element in her paintings, serving as a symbol of mystery and the unknown, a metaphor for introspection, and a boundary that separates the figures from the rest of the world. These tensions are reflected in her recurring themes of disorientation, solitude, and quiet anticipation in the contemporary human experience.
