Homa Emami Artwork
Homa Emami graduated in 1979 from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Tehran in the field of sculpture, emigrated to Germany at the end of 1985 and pursued further art studies from 1989 to 1993 at the Cologne Art Academy in the field of art and design. Since 1993 she has exhibited her works as a freelance artist in Germany and other parts of the world. She lives and works in Cologne and Brühl.
Homa Emami's artistic themes and concepts are presented as space-related art installations with different media and materials such as photography, painting, objects and drawings. Themes such as archiving, storing, ordering and transience are reflected in her works.
Homa Emami's artworks are an exploration of the boundaries between content, material and form, sculpture and representation in space.
Her works are informed by her personal life experiences, especially migration and the role of the human being in the living world and society. In the same way, she challenges femininity and life at the heart of her works. She uses everyday, ephemeral and fragile materials in her works, creating an associative space of her artistic philosophy and at the same time pointing to instability and vulnerability and on the other hand to resistance and stubbornness. She uses basic materials, for example earth, dust, hair, eggshells, orange peelings, seeds, shards, etc., which can be found in basic forms in her works. Her works are processual and refer to the representation of original experiences. In her arrangements, the artist, archiving, numbering and ordering a collection of her past and serious works, designs a root connection and a platform to speak and connect individual experiences with social experiences.
