Made By Naime
Artist: Naime Pakniyat
Naime began blending pixel art with the traditional painting of her homeland in
2016. In 2022, she created her first short animated film, “Gambit.” Her work
introduces a distinct visual language, drawing inspiration from Persian
miniatures of the 13th and 14th centuries, while also paying homage to the 8-bit
art of the early internet—a nostalgia that continues to resonate deeply within
today’s community. In June 2024, she presented her personal brand ‘Made By Naime’
to add pixel art to everyday products. By merging pixel art, a symbol of
modernity, with the traditional elements of ancient times, she strives to
preserve cultural heritage from fading into obscurity.
Zarparān
Zarparān or Saffron, known as the most expensive spice in the world,
is also referred to as “Red Gold.” Iran is one of the largest producers and
exporters of this precious product. The saffron flowers are hand-picked
exclusively in the early morning. This plant has many medicinal properties,
and brewing it with tea is a tradition among Iranians. The collection of
Colorful Flowers is a pause in the rich nature of Iran.
