And I want to get acquainted with everything and learn it manually. I really love the society of artists and always welcome new acquaintances. A few days ago such an acquaintance took place thanks to the society in which I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her name is Meryam Ashan, a beautiful Iranian name and she carries the personification of beauty and femininity. She also brought a bunch of her paintings to our meeting and showed them. Her style is the traditional Iranian style of creating miniatures. And when she showed her works, the artist from Pakistan just jumped with admiration, because this is a very popular artistic style of miniatures, known and traditional for the East (China, Pakistan, Iran and India). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helenpolishuk.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/helenpolishuk.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2273\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Example of miniature<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The style means the creation of miniature compositions united by one meaning.
