The Hopeful Dancer by Leila Ashtiani
This is the first painting that I did once I was free and the first time I have been able to paint a woman without covering her body. It is very important for me as it is filled with emotion and intention. It is called ‘The Hopeful Dancer’ as it represents my excitement, anticipation and hope for the future.
