Being a woman in Iran is a daily struggle. Being a painter, too. Through this "extreme situation", the struggle can become the very aim of artistic creation... Indeed, despite all the restrictions and Islamic taboos, Iranian society has recently been enjoying a cultural renewal in which women have undeniably been playing an ascendant role. In Teheran, more than 3,000 women are officially recorded in the profession - they are painters, plastic artists, gallery owners... They address the camera, veiled or bare-headed, and provide an image of themselves that has nothing to do with the stereotypes and clichés of the Iranian woman.
