My painting carries the message of love and freedom for women, and care and concern about nature and wild-life.

Parastoo Haddadi(19 Sep 1986), Parastoo was born in Tehran, Iran. She loves animal, nature and wom-en emotions therefore all of her artwork is about this deep connection between. Generally, the role of animals in her works are a symbol of human personality and have different definitions in her works. Accordingly, the horse is a symbol of a woman, her feelings,and behavior. Despite her art talent she decided to graduate in BA software engineering. She had almost more than 15 exhibitions in Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Iran and she won almost 5 prizes at national and international art festivals. Her artworks are brought from her imagination and they have a story behind them. Right now, Parastoo as a painter, photographer and film editor lives.
