the Southern Tale Sabz-e-Qab
“Sabz-e-Qabā” is a southern Iranian folktale rooted in mythic promises and the bond between humans and the natural world. The story begins with a barren woman who, in desperation, makes a vow beneath a twin-trunked sacred tree: if granted a child, she will surrender her daughter to the tree itself. When a baby girl is born, the mother’s joy makes her forget her vow—setting in motion a tale woven with fate, broken promises, and the supernatural forces that rise to claim what has been promised.
Meet the Artist
Aarhus, DenmarkHello, and thank you for visiting my profile.
I am a mural artist and freelance illustrator currently based in Aarhus. I have completed several large-scale wall paintings for schools and kindergartens, creating bright, educational, and child-friendly murals that transform spaces and inspire imagination. I have also produced promotional murals for children’s centers, combining visual storytelling with clear communication.
As an illustrator, I focus on Iranian folklore and traditional narratives, bringing cultural stories to life through expressive characters and vibrant compositions. I enjoy blending heritage with contemporary styles to create artwork that feels both familiar and fresh.
I also have experience teaching children how to illustrate stories and express their creativity through art. Working with kids has strengthened my ability to translate complex ideas into simple, engaging visuals.
Through this platform, I aim to continue working in two main areas:
• mural painting for educational and community spaces,
• and illustration inspired by cultural storytelling and children’s art education.
If you are looking for an artist with creativity, professionalism, and strong experience in mural work and narrative illustration, I would be happy to collaborate on your next project.
