Light, Life, and the Spirit of the Sun
In the heart of this work lies a dialogue between light and memory. The “Sun Lady” is more than an image — she is a symbol of life, warmth, and rebirth. Inspired by the eternal presence of the sun in Persian art and poetry, this piece reflects the philosophy of architecture as coexistence: to create with love, to return beauty to the earth, and to let art breathe within architecture.
Collaborative Creation
For Firouz Firouz, architecture is never a solitary act. Each project becomes a meeting point for artists, artisans, and materials — a shared process of creation. The “Sun Lady” was painted by Noormiyan Manouchehri, whose brush brought the spirit of the sun to life on paper. Later, Bahareh Khamiri, with the artist’s collaboration, transferred every layer of this painting onto ceramic tiles — a gesture of respect toward the handcraft tradition that bridges art and architecture.
Technique and Process
The mural was painted layer by layer, glazed multiple times, and fired in the kiln — each stage revealing a deeper luminosity. The surface carries both the precision of craftsmanship and the spontaneity of painting, capturing movement in stillness and light in texture. It’s not just ceramic — it’s a living skin that absorbs and reflects the surrounding light.
Integration within Architecture
Installed by the poolside, the mural mirrors itself in the still water, creating a dialogue between reflection and reality. The turquoise and gold tones echo the geometry of the pool tiles, while the vertical cypresses rise like silent guardians of light. Here, architecture does not host art — it becomes one with it. The mural breathes with the space, changing with daylight and shadow.
Philosophy: The Art of Coexistence
architecture is an act of love — a space where art, material, and nature live in harmony. “The Sun Lady” is a reminder that beauty emerges when disciplines meet, when architecture listens to painting, and when the earth is invited to speak through craft. It is not decoration; it is a manifestation of unity — between sun and shadow, water and wall, art and life.
