Environmental Art Festival on the Persian Golf
Painted Body
فارسی
I also painted student's
faces and hands using local red earth "Gelak". This red earth is used to
cook "Soragh" which is a traditional food. It consists of organic earth,
fish and a kind of lemon or sour orange "Nareng". Usually Soragh is
served with bread. Experience shows that the colored earth doesn't
affect the body, so we enjoyed using this earth as a medium for art.

Painting by colored earth.
This is pure earth and there is no any harm for body and
environment.


Works by colored earth. There are purely organic and there is no
any harm for environment.





Unfortunately, a local company exports
this valuable earth and uses it in some industry. Unfortunately, most of
the people of Hormoz are poor and have no income and many receive
charity from the government. We artists aim to introduce the value of
this earth as an art material and we invite all artists across the globe
to visit this beautiful island.
