Houri Naeimi – My soul is breathed into my paintings…

About the second piece of the Anatomy of Power series”

“Table of Revelation”

In this painting, the human body is stripped of meaning—reduced to raw flesh that is not only consumed, but endlessly reproduced.
Figures in theatrical masks and skin-like faces sit in silence around a table not set for conversation, but for sacrifice.
The axe speaks the verdict.
Above the mantle, amid lifeless walls, hangs a slab of flesh—not as inert matter, but as a sacred object, something to be revered.
In the absence of faith, in the erosion of meaning, it is now flesh that is sanctified—an inverted ritual, consecrating only decay and violence.
A mouth torn from tissue cries out—not with words, but with silence.
A muted scream.
A truth that has been buried.
Here, the boundaries between human, animal, and machine have collapsed.
What remains is a body trapped in a cycle of submission, pleasure, and brutality.
This work is not merely a narrative, not even a painting—
It is a mirror, a chamber within us all,
where the victim and the butcher are one.

SOLD

I’ve been working on new collection; titled”Anatomy of Power“-This collection portrays the reduced human—bodies stripped of identity, mere flesh consumed within cycles of power. In a world where individuality collapses under dominance, one fundamental question remains: What is left of being human when will and awareness are gone?

This is the first SOLD piece of this collection; Titled “Consumed” In the context of “flesh-becoming”, consumed describes a state where a living body or raw matter, through a process marked by violence or need, is transformed into an object, energy, or memory ‐ something no longer itself, but now consumed- in the fire of hunger, the machinery of power, or the intensity of desire.
Here, consumed is not just an end; it is the point at which the boundary between object and need dissolves- where flesh no longer belongs to itself, but to the other.

“Where Shadows Obey”

He breathes with colors, in a world where its law is imagination and its border is boundlessness. His dreams are neither silent nor tame; they roar, they dance, spill out from his face, and force the world to become a child for a moment.

“Fluid Identities“- newest series

In this collection, water serves as a space for revelation and transformation. The characters in the paintings are submerged, where their identities shift, and the boundaries between body and soul blur. These images are not only depictions of moments of physical transformation but also metaphors for an inner and philosophical journey where waves and depths become a mirror for self-discovery.

The technique of all the artworks is acrylic on canvas, but some of them are mixed media, incorporating materials such as bleach, wood stain, and Ecoline. 40×40 cm
