Mehrdokht’s art – created in acrylic, markers, ink, and photo collage – is luminously layered, and often spikes riotous color with snippets of cut-out text. Though Mehrdokht has always been an ardent supporter of digital techniques, her process is to start her illustrations traditionally. She loves the imperfections traditional means allow, like an unintentional paint drop or the errant stroke of a brush, giving the work more personality and spontaneity. With magical, richly textured, vividly hued collages, Mehrdokht’s boisterous visuals soar with brilliance.
