When shown to the public, the works of painter Negin Rouhbakhsh produce a double impression on visitor’s retina. At first sight, evidence of Persian cultural heritage is obvious. The liveliness of the colors, the complexity of the patterns, the infinite intertwining that the lines draw on the surface of the canvas evoke the art of Persian carpet and mosaic. These thousand-year-old knowledges have been transmitted from generation to generation. Besides, it is famous iranian painter Jafar Rouhbakhsh, scholarship holder of the Maeght foudation based in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, who familiarized his daughter Negin Rouhbakhsh with the world of painting. Even today, Negin Rouhbakhsh finds part of her inspiration in her father’s art, which she perpetuates. But there is also a contemporaneity of the works of Negin Rouhbakhsh, which links her to the abstract art of the second half of the twentieth century and to the electronic chips found on computer motherboards, these printed circuits which ensure the connection of all the components and allow microprocessors to recognize them. This double impression produced by the contemplation of the works of Negin Rouhbakhsh comes from the incredible encounter between the distant Persian past which she inherited and the ultra-modernity of her printed circuits figures that inscribe her in a futuristic present. One doesn’t forget this double impression. Long after our first vision, this impression comes back to light up our retinas and gives off a scent of eternity that captivates us as only an oriental lime can do.
