莎拉·霍斯羅瓦尼
莎拉·霍斯羅瓦尼 (Sara Khosrovani) 是一位自學成才的伊朗裔荷蘭藝術家、藥劑師和神經科學家，她的作品喚起了人們的鄉愁、遷徙和文化融合的情感。她從小就深受伊朗豐富的藝術傳統薰陶，後來在歐洲生活多年，現在居住在台灣——每一處生活的痕跡都在她不斷發展的藝術語言中留下了痕跡。從童年開始，藝術就一直存在於她的生活中，成為一種重要的表達形式，塑造了她看待和體驗世界的方式。
Khosrovani 的畫作是不同歷史和美學交匯的詩意空間。她的作品充滿了波斯繪畫的優雅，宛如波斯地毯一樣，回應著歷經數世紀的裝飾圖紋與敘事的傳統。然而在這些表面之下，我們也看到了東亞視覺和諧的微妙影響，以及西方當代藝術大膽的色彩語彙。她將這些元素編織融合，不是出於分析性，而是憑藉直覺，創作出既紮根於傳統、又充滿當代氣息的作品。
她創作的核心，是對「歸屬」與「轉化」的深刻思索。她筆下的人物、動物和植物棲息在夢幻般的環境中，徘徊在不同文化之間，邀請觀者走入一個由遷徙所構築的世界，跨越國界、歷史和情感景觀。畫作中的元素，無論是一隻鞋子還是一條項鍊，往往都反映了藝術家的經歷，但沒有給出明顯的解釋，留給觀者很大的想像空間。這樣，Khosrovani 的作品不僅關乎她的出身，還關乎藝術如何同時容納多個地點、時間和自我。
Artist introduction
Sara Khosrovaniis an autodidact Iranian artist, pharmacist and neuroscientist by education, whose work evokes feelings of nostalgia, migration and cultural synthesis. Having grown up immersed in the rich artistic traditions of Iran, she later spent many years in Europe and now resides in Taiwan—each place leaving its trace in her evolving artistic language. From childhood, art was ever present in her life and became a vital form of expression, shaping the way she sees and experiences the world.
Khosrovani’spaintings are poetic spaces where different histories and aesthetics converge. Her compositions are steeped in the elegance of Persian painting, like a Persian carpet echoing centuries-old traditions of ornamental pattern and narrative stillness. Yet within these surfaces, we also see the subtle influence of East Asian visual harmony and the bold chromatic language of Western contemporary art. She weaves these elements together not analytically, but intuitively—creating works that feel both grounded in tradition and completely of the present.
At the heart of her practice is a contemplation of belonging and transformation. Her figures, animals, and plants inhabit dreamlike settings that seem to hover between cultures, inviting viewers into a world shaped by movement—across borders, histories, and emotional landscapes. The elements in the paintings, be it a single shoe or a necklace often reflect experiences of the artist, without giving an obvious explanation, leaving much to the imagination of the observer. In this way, Khosrovani’swork is not only about where she has come from, but about how art can hold multiple places, times, and selves at once.
作品 Artworks
沉思之時 / A Moment of Reflection
97x130cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2025
畫面鮮豔繁盛：
一位女子安然倚坐於紋飾長椅，
周圍叢生的枝葉彷彿幻境般蔓延，
色彩濃烈的貓——黃、橙、綠——靜靜伴隨其側。
她的黑衣與端凝的姿態，與四周的蓬勃形成對比，
彷彿在喧鬧中尋得安定，在華麗間守住內心的靜寂。
繁複的花葉、誇張的色彩、風格化的人物，
呼應著波斯細密畫與現代裝飾藝術的交融。
而貓的不同姿態與色澤，或象徵陪伴，或隱含神秘，
抑或映照著情感的另一種關係。
《沉思之時》如一則靜默寓言，
不僅描繪女子的反思，更邀觀者一同進入介於現實與幻象之間的心境。
在這凝視之中，觀看與被觀看相互交織，
孤獨與親密微妙並存——
於華麗中反思，在靜默裡甦醒。
This vibrant painting showcases a woman lounging on a patterned chaise longue, surrounded by an almost fantastical jungle of vividly coloured foliage and cats in saturated hues—yellow, orange, and green. The woman’s composed posture and black dress contrast with the wildness of the environment, suggesting a theme of serenity amidst chaos or inner stillness in a lush, possibly symbolic, world.
The detailed florals, exaggerated colors, and stylized figures are reminiscent of Persian miniatures blended with modern decorative art, hinting at the artist’s cultural influences. The cats, each with their own distinct posture and colour, might symbolize companionship, mysticism, or emotional connection, or do they perhaps reflect a more transactional relationship.
"A Moment of Reflection" unfolds like a quiet fable—depicting not only the woman’s introspection but also inviting the viewer into an inner landscape suspended between reality and illusion. In this contemplative gaze, the viewer is not merely looking, butbeing looked at—drawn into a silent dialogue. The work captures the delicate interplay of solitude and intimacy in life—reflecting amid opulence, awakening in stillness.
請坐吧 / Please Have a Seat
140x100cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2020
在這幅作品裡，夢幻與想像交織，
構築出一個既好奇又帶著玩味的室內空間。
背景中繁盛向上的花卉，鮮活能量脈動著；
一張深藍色的軟椅，厚實而誘人，成為畫面中安穩的重心。
四周，圓潤潔白的母雞安然佇立，
或停棲於條紋與棋盤格的座台，
與空間中俏皮、超現實的韻律相互呼應。
椅子中央，一顆白色的蛋靜靜放著，荒誕卻幽默——
彷彿回應了題名，暗示早已有「誰」，
或許是一隻母雞，自在地把這裡當成了家。
這一細節，既滑稽又真切，
在華麗裝飾的氛圍中添上一抹輕盈，
使整個場景同時親密又劇場化。
於是，幽默、思索與幻想
在這鮮明的紋樣世界裡，
交織出一種奇異而和諧的節奏。
In Please Have a Seat, dreaminess and fantasy intertwine within a richly patterned interior that invites both curiosity and amusement.
The vibrant background of upward-reaching florals pulses with energy, while the deep blue armchair—lush and inviting—anchors the scene in plush comfort. Surrounding it, plump white hens appear unbothered, perched on striped and checkered surfaces that echo the playful, surreal rhythm of the space. At the center of the chair, a single white egg rests with quiet absurdity—a humorous nod to the title, suggesting that someone, perhaps a chicken, has already made themselves quite at home. This small, comedic detail contrasts with the ornamental elegance of the setting, adding levity to an otherwise dreamy and decorative composition. The result is a scene that feels both intimate and theatrical, where humour, reflection, and fantasy coexist in a vivid, patterned harmony.
月與蠍 / The Moon and the Scorpion
100x144 cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2024
深綠的靜室中，寂默如絲綢般垂落，
一彎新月懸於窗外，守護著午夜的思緒。
花瓶承載著葉語與舊日故事，枝條伸展，金與銀交錯，
仿佛在傾聽空氣之外的迴響。
桌上，一封未拆的信，與一杯琥珀色的酒相依而置，
在月光裡柔和閃耀，彷彿收藏著不輕易透露的秘密。
一隻藍貓蜷曲於條紋扶椅，
沉睡、信任，全然不覺時光的催促。
此刻，等待化作靜謐，
時間低聲慢行，心境也隨之向內收斂。
或許，正如古波斯詩人所言：
世間最具辯才者，莫過於沉默——
特別當它托住尚未展讀的微光閃爍的訊息。
In the still hush of a deep green room, where silence drapes itself like silk, the crescent moon lingers in the window, a quiet guardian of midnight thoughts. A vase, etched with the language of leaves and old stories, reaches skyward with golden and silver branches, as if listening for something just beyond the air. A letter rests beside a small, amber drink—both unopened, both glowing softly in the moonlight, as though they carry a secret not meant to rush. A blue cat sleeps curled in perfect trust on a striped armchair, still blissfully unaware, sensing no need for haste. In this moment of waiting, time slows to a hush, and the spirit leans gently inward. Perhaps, as the poets of old Persia mused, there is nothing in the world more eloquent than quietness—especially when it holds the shimmer of news not yet read.
若寫不出，便畫下它 / If You Can’t Write It, Paint It
60x72cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2025
這幅畫低聲訴說著一個意念：
並非所有的心願都需要以文字書寫。
懸掛的符籤，帶著有機的圖紋，
宛如無言的渴望，靜靜停留在記憶的森林間。
這些願望不以語句承載，
而是化為形象，在真實與想像之間微微搖曳。
鳥兒如同無聲的見證者，亦似承載思念的使者，
守護著這份靜默的力量——
提醒我們，最深的渴望往往只能去感受，而無需言說。
This painting whispers the idea that not all wishes need to be written. The delicately suspended tags, each adorned with organic, emblematic forms, resemble unspoken hopes hanging in a forest of memory. Rather than inscribed with words, these wishes take visual shape, gently swaying between the real and the imagined. The birds, like silent witnesses or carriers of longing, seem to honour the quiet power of visual expression—reminding us that some of our deepest desires are best felt, not said.
姻緣紅線 / The Red Thread of Faith
60x72cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2025
在金色的天空下，如低語般閃爍的光芒裡，
柔藍的鳥兒輕棲枝頭，牠們的足間，細細紅線隱隱牽連。
有的輕輕拉扯，有的渾然不覺，也有的凝望不語——
彷彿不確定彼端，究竟等待著誰。
靈感源自東亞傳說：
那條看不見的紅線，將有緣的靈魂緊緊相繫。
在幽默與渴望的交織裡，
畫作低聲暗示：愛或許會在意想不到時來到，
即使我們以為自己孤單，或早已錯綁了另一條線。
Against a golden sky that glows like a whispered secret, soft blue birds perch gently on curling branches—each one tied, almost imperceptibly, by a thin red thread. Some tug gently, some seem unaware, and others sit in quiet wonder, unsure who waits at the other end. Inspired by the East Asian legend of the invisible red line that binds destined souls, this work plays with fate and feeling. With a wink of humor and a heart full of yearning, it suggests that love may find us even when we think we’re alone—or already entangled with the wrong string.
蜂與鳥 The Bee and the Bird
Ø60 cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2025
枝影溫柔，兩隻藍鳥並棲，
安然之間流露著靜靜的親近。
然而，一隻蜂的到來，
微小卻蘊含著轉變的契機。
它或帶來甘甜，或掀起擾動；
或是喜悅，或是憂懼——無人能言。
如同生命，總懸於喜悅與不確定之間。
In The Bee and the Bird, the canvas sings softly of companionship, with two gentle blue birds resting among tender branches, their presence radiating ease and quiet affection. Yet into this serene rhythm enters a bee, small but charged with possibility, its arrival carrying the power to shift everything in an instant. It may bring sweetness or disruption, joy or unease—no one can say. Like live itself, the moment hovers between delight and uncertainty.
鳥與雄蜂 The Bird and the Drone
Ø60 cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2025
枝影蜿蜒，花悄然綻放，
小鳥安歇於靜謐之中。
然而，一隻雄蜂的闖入，
輕微嗡鳴，卻足以震裂安寧。
恆久之美，原是如此脆弱——
剎那間，和諧便可被打碎。
The painting appears as a tender scene of ease, composure, and gentle stillness, where branches curl gracefully, blossoms open in quiet bloom, and a bird rests in untroubled harmony. Yet within this fragile balance, the smallest presence—a drone, sharp and out of place—fractures the calm, reminding us how delicate peace truly is. What feels eternal and safe can be unsettled in an instant, beauty pierced by intrusion, and serenity made uncertain by the faintest hum of disturbance.
越時之境 / Beyond Time
72x60 cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2025
滿月凝望之下，
兩隻白鳥棲於深色枝頭，
靜靜相對於靛藍森林。
其中一隻銜著紅色結飾，
細緻而象徵，
彷彿默默傳遞愛意或追憶。
另一隻安然守候，
以平靜迎接無聲的訊息。
時光在此凝結，
聯繫無需言語，
溫柔、永恆，
如同月光，照耀著彼此。
Under the soft gaze of a full moon, two white birds rest on dark branches amid a forest of quiet blue. One holds a red charm, delicate and symbolic, as if offering a silent message of love or remembrance. The other waits, calm and open, in a scene suspended in time. In this stillness, connection speaks without words—tender, timeless, and as certain as the light that touches them both.
招福貓 / The Beckoning Cat
72x60cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2025
一隻藍色的貓安然端坐於玫瑰色的座台，
抬起的前掌，宛如招財貓的手勢，
召喚的不僅是福運，
或許還有一縷隱約的魔法。
雙眼闔閉，靜靜沉入白日的夢境，
遊走於靜止與生成之間。
身後的花紋宛若夢境蔓延，
似乎只要些許幸運，
連牆上的圖案也能化為真實的綻放。
在這柔和的世界裡，
可能性，停泊於每一次靜默之中。
A blue cat sits serenely on a rose-colored pedestal, one paw raised like the Maneki-neko—summoning not just fortune, but perhaps a flicker of something more, magic perhaps? Eyes closed in a quiet daydream, it drifts between stillness and becoming. Behind it, floral patterns climb like a waking vision, as if with just a little luck, even wallpaper might bloom into real life. In this gentle world, possibility lingers in every pause.
緋聞女孩 / Gossip Girls
100x160cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2023
三隻黑鳥斜倚於夢幻藍天之下，
眼眸閃爍如珠寶，姿態優雅而從容，
宛若一場靜謐而奢靡的聚會。
其間，一隻頭戴冠飾，另一隻羽衣華麗，
兩側花瓶蜿蜒的葉片，
像是餘宴散盡後仍縈繞的煙霧。
下方，一尾紋理瑰麗卻寂然無聲的魚，
或許是供奉的祭品，
抑或是被忽視的隱秘來客。
整個場景，被鮮豔的粉紅邊框環抱，
在優雅的光澤裡，
潛藏著一縷狡黠的低語。
Three dark birds recline with regal ease beneath a dreamy blue sky, their jeweled eyes and elegant poses hinting at a quiet, decadent gathering. Crowned and adorned, they sit between two ornate vases, their leaves curling like smoke from a celebration just past. Below them, a single fish lies still—its patterned body too perfect, too silent—perhaps the quiet offering, or the unnoticed guest, of this curious party. Wrapped in a vivid pink frame, the scene shimmers with elegance and a whisper of mischief.
留意那隻貓 / Mind the Cat
120x100cm｜壓克力顏料 畫布 acrylic on canvas｜2023
一張椅子靜靜佇立於午後陽光，
紫色的影子拉長在陽台之上。
花盆們像老友般聚攏，
以多樣的色彩與形狀，
回應著台灣陽台熟悉的氣息。
或許將有一杯飲品被倒出，
或許有一隻手即將停歇，
安寧的午後，唯有鳥兒先行聽見 —— 某種步伐，正在靠近；
那隻未現的貓，正在途中。
A quiet chair waits in the sun, its purple shadow stretching across a balcony that hums with soft bird songs and the warmth of late afternoon. Small flowerpots gather like old friends, their diverse colours and shapes echoing the familiar charm of a Taiwanese balcony. A drink might soon be poured, a hand might soon rest—and in this calm, even the birds seem to know someone is on their way.
