This collection draws inspiration from the magnificent treasures of the National Jewelry Museum of Iran and the varied behaviors of crows I have observed during my walks. Each painting—created using oil on canvas—blends jewelry, nature, and the forms of crows to tell a unique story. Crows, intelligent creatures fascinated by anything shiny, are captivated by these jewels. Whether it is a shard of broken mirror or a gem-encrusted crown, every glint holds value for them. While snatching small objects is easy, larger treasures create tension, sometimes compelling the birds to cooperate, negotiate, or compete. The jeweled shield (known as the Naderi Shield) is one of the most unique artifacts in the Jewelry Museum. Its body is crafted from rhinoceros hide, and it is adorned with precious stones, including diamonds, emeralds, rubies . The shield measures approximately 46 centimeters in diameter. When this jeweled shield is placed amidst nature, crows—drawn to shiny objects—become mesmerized by its beauty and splendor. Each of them longs for this magnificent shield to belong solely to itself... Painting dimensions: 100 x 70 cm
