Sharzadian’s sculptural practice centers around the philosophical and perceptual tension between shadow and reflection. Working with mirrors, paint, and structural form, she creates compositions where the act of seeing becomes reciprocal: the artwork watches back.

From the Venetian monopoly to the war and peace rooms of the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, from royal salons to whispered treaties that ended empires—mirrors have seen it all. Born in one country, growing in reflections in other parts of the world, Rooted in Persian Āina-Kāri, Sharzadian constructs sculptural mirror where shadow acts as reflection—revealing what light cannot reach. Each piece invites the viewer into a narrative to stand within the work, becoming both witness and the art itself.
“Each work invites the viewer to become both subject and object—caught in the interplay of shadow and reflection.”
بیانیه هنری
«سایه یک بازتاب است»
شهرزادیانشهرزادیان در آثار خود به تنش میان سایه و بازتاب میپردازد—جایی که ادراک، حضور، و غیاب در هم تنیدهاند. او با ترکیب آینه، رنگ، و حجم، سازه هایی می آفریند که در آنها دیدن به تجربه ای متقابل تبدیل میشود: مخاطب نه تنها اثر را می بیند، بلکه خود نیز در نگاه اثر قرار می گیردبا الهام از آیینه کاریهای سنتی ایرانی و کارکرد نمادین آیینه در فضاهای قدرت در غرب —از تالار آیینه ی ورسای تا اتاقهای مذاکره پنهان—آیینه در آثار او دیگر صرفاً عنصری تزئینی نیست، بلکه سطحی زنده است: حامِلِ خاطره، روایتگر اکنون، و احیاکننده ی آنچه فراموش شده استدر مرکز آثار او ایده ای تکرارشونده قرار دارد:
«سایه، بازتاب است جایی که نور نمیرسد.»
سایه غیبت نور نیست، بلکه حضوری ست خاموش و زنده—شکل گرفته از جایی که تن ایستاده، میان گذشته و آینده
در جهان شهرزادیان، آینه صرفاً تصویر را بازتاب نمی دهد، بلکه نادیده ها را مرئی میکند—لایه هایی از احساس و حافظه که از روایت خطی می گریزندبا ترکیب آینه های شکسته، رنگ، و حجمهای ساخته شده، او فضاهایی میسازد که مخاطب را نه تنها با تصویر خویش، بلکه با جایگاهش در دل روایت مواجه میکنند. آثار او پیشنهاد میدهند که ایستادن در برابر آینه، تماشای خویش نیست—بلکه مواجهه ایست با خود و دیگری، در نقطه ی تلاقی سایه و بازتاباین آثار، شیء نیستند
آستانه اند
مرزهایی میان ادراک و درون نگری؛
میان سکوت و حضور.
آینه در آثار او تنها سطحی برای بازتاب نیست، بلکه بستری ست برای مواجهه با آنچه پنهان است—لایه هایی از خود، از رابطه، و از خاطره.
ترکیب عناصر بازتابی با فرمهای نقاشی شده و مجسمه وار، نوعی گفت وگوی بی کلام میان نور و سایه میسازد
گفت وگویی درباره ی آنچه گفته نشده، احساساتی که نادیده مانده اند، و خاطراتی که تنها در سکوت قابل لمس انددر جهان شهرزادیان، سایه نه صرفاً غیبت نور، بلکه حافظه ای زنده است—بازتابی دیگرگونه از لحظه ی اکنون
متن زیر، جهان مفهومی و شاعرانه ی هنرمند را روایت میکند
Artist Statement
“Shadow is Reflection.”Sharzadian’s sculptural practice centers around the philosophical and perceptual tension between shadow and reflection. Working with mirrors, paint, and structural form, she creates compositions where the audience becomes the subject of art.Inspired by poetry and ancient mythology, the symbolic use of mirrors in Western spaces of power—from Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors to silent negotiation rooms—her work reclaims the mirror not as an object, but as a living surface: one that allows forgotten narratives to reappear.At the core of her work is a recurring idea:
“Shadow is a reflection where light does not arrive.”
A shadow is not absence. It is a presence—real, moving, and alive—shaped by where the body stands, between past and future. In Sharzadian’s work, mirrors do not merely reflect what is. They reveal the invisible—those emotional and psychological dimensions of the self that resist linear storytelling.By combining fragmented mirrors with pigment and sculptural volume, she creates spaces of layered perception, where viewers are confronted not only with their image, but with their position inside the narrative. Her works suggest that to stand before a mirror is not to see, but to encounter—to meet yourself and the other in the moment where shadow and reflection merge.
