Delara Darabi Paintings

Do you know what a prisoner of colors means?
It means Del Ara,
I, whom from the age of 4 had my life divided by colors,
At the onset of my 17th birthday lost them.
I depicted grimy red as cobalt blue…
and in place of the skies I spread gray. I lost the colors.

And now a wall is the only image by my side which each day unfolds its sigh.

From behind the walls, to you who have come to view the paintings, I say hello and welcome.
