Color and Mystery is a poetic and biographical journey through memory, art, and the search for meaning-an intimate narrative of life and death, migration, and family ties, as seen through the eyes of Iranian-Canadian artist Irene Monique Salehi. Drawing from personal experience and lived memory, Salehi reconstructs moments both tender and painful in narrative scenes that echo the vibrant colors and modern techniques of her silk paintings. Like her artwork, this book weaves the mystery of existence into every word and image. Color and Mystery is where language and painting converge-a meditation on inner light, shaped through sorrow, love, and a life lived between worlds. Irene Monique Salehi was born in 1954 in Paris. She studied art in Paris, Tehran, and Canada, and now lives in Toronto with over thirty years of experience in silk painting. Since 1998, she has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada and has received several prestigious awards, including the Dr. Marcel Lemyieux Award from Sheridan College in the field of craft and design, and the Martys Award in the visual arts category from the Mississauga Arts Council. Themes of life, death, and the mystery of existence are central and powerful in Irene Monique Salehi’s paintings. Her works, with their vibrant colors and modern techniques, take the viewer on a visual journey toward inner truth and illumination. In her writings as well, she has sought to explore the meaning of life through words, drawing from her personal experiences. For her, this meaning is inseparable from color.Irene Monique Salehi was born in 1954 in Paris.
