I made this replica of the Sacajawea Coin for annual MtBidwell Parade put on by the Rez honoring boarding-school elders. RandyLTeton modeled for the coin & wanted a prop for the parade. So I made this. Little did I know, she would take it with her & use it in parades across the US. I’m humbled. 2025

“Untitled (بی‌عنوان)” by Nasser Ovissi / ناصر اویسی (Iranian) – Mixed media on canvas / c. 2010s – Raha Gallery Middle East Collection (Tehran, Iran) #WomenInArt #IranianArt #PersianArt #art #artText #artwork #RahaGallery #MiddleEasternArt #BlueskyArt #MixedMediaArt #ModernArt #Ovissi #NasserOvissi
A woman with luminous chalky-white skin sits gracefully side-saddle on a blue horse, enveloped in a field of intense cobalt blue. Her long black hair flows beneath a red ribbons, its edges lifting as if stirred by sound. White calligraphic lines glide across her robe and the horse’s body like illuminated script, evoking Persian nastaliq forms while blending language and ornament. A slender column rises at the right edge, topped by a tiny bird that seems ready to sing—a subtle emblem of voice and spirit. Cradled in her lap, a pale, long-necked lute-like instrument, reminiscent of a Persian setar yet abstracted in form, its soft curve echoing the line of the animal’s body and binding sound to movement. Turquoise and indigo layers blur any horizon, and accents of scarlet red at her lips, ribbons, and reins pulse gently within the blue’s serenity. The result feels weightless, suspended between motion and stillness. This untitled work exemplifies Iranian artist Nasser Ovissi’s lifelong synthesis of Persian heritage and modern abstraction. Born in Tehran in 1934, Ovissi trained in Rome before developing an international career that joined Saqqakhaneh symbolism with contemporary aesthetics. His recurring subjects of women, horses, birds, and calligraphic forms embody grace, imagination, and continuity. In Persian visual culture, blue connotes transcendence while white script becomes both prayer and pattern as the musician represents inner voice and the horse conveys strength and loyalty. The composition’s interplay of vertical calm and diagonal melody invites reflection on harmony between tradition and innovation. Critics have described Ovissi’s art as “a dialogue between poetry and painting,” a phrase that resonates here. Now held in the Raha Gallery Middle East Collection in Tehran, this painting stands as a lyrical testament to cultural endurance where brushstroke, language, and sound merge into one radiant act of creation.
