Caress by Maryam Lamei Harvani

Caress 

Caress is the essence of Maryam's artistic world — a single bird among flowers, the lover and the beloved locked in a timeless, tender exchange. Intimate, luminous, and impossible to look away from.

This edition is an exact photographic reproduction of the original acrylic work, preserving the texture and surface detail of the original — including Maryam's signature, which appears as part of the artwork itself.

Please note: These prints showcase Maryam's unique technique, characterized by uneven, grainy color and texture. This effect is intentional and is part of Maryam's unique artistic expression.

About the artist:

Maryam Lamei Harvani was born in 1985 in Sarab, a historical city in northwest Iran. Her work is rooted in the Iranian Golo Morgh tradition — a classical Persian painting style in which the flower represents the beloved and the bird the lover — but she pushes far beyond its boundaries, weaving together Persian miniature geometry, emotional fragmentation, and a quiet spiritual intensity that is entirely her own.

In 2025 alone, Maryam exhibited at Art Dubai with the Leila Heller Gallery, was featured as an illustrator in the New York Times, and created an exclusive artist collection for Starbucks. She has held solo exhibitions in Paris, Istanbul, and Dubai, and her work has been shown in more than twenty museums, galleries, and cultural centers worldwide.

The limited edition prints available at Toi Art Gallery are among the only editions of her work available to collect at home — each one numbered, signed, and printed on museum-quality cotton paper.
