A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST

“The name of this painting is Do not be afraid.

 Do not be afraid of anything, I’m by your side.

Through hard days and sad nights.

I know all this, my mistress but, know that I will always love you no matter what happens.

I still love you, you are my endless hope.

You are the one I am fighting for.

You laugh so I can laugh.”

ABOUT THE ARTIST

My name is Javad and I’m 24 years old. I was born in Afghanistan, but when I was young my family took us from our home to seek refuge in Iran.

My family’s living conditions were very difficult in Iran because we were living there as refugees. Therefore, we were not supported like the local people. Many resources were not available to us and I was prohibited from studying.

I’ve loved painting since I was a child and for as long as I can remember I’ve always painted. I’ve always dreamed of being an artist, but also an art professor so I can give many people the education and opportunities I never had growing up.

The idea of this painting is all my own. I took the idea of the painting from the bottom of my heart.
