Tbilisi next stop for Gizella Sinaii’s “Travel Diary”

TEHRAN,Aug.20(MNA) -- Iran-based Hungarian artist Gizella Varga Sinaii will display her collection “Travel Dairy” in Tbilisi, Georgia in autumn. The collection “Travel Diary” contains 10 large-size paintings, which narrate the life story of Gizella in Hungary, Austria and Iran. Gizella, wife of leading Iranian filmmaker Khosro Sinaii, was born in 1944 in Chakvar, Hungary. She is a graduate of art from Vienna and has lived in Iran for many years. “These works narrate my life in these three countries, my journey from the West to the East,” Gizella told. The works have previously been displayed in different countries such as Finland, Austria and Hungary, and will go on display in Tbilisi in autumn, she added. The collection will later be shown in Dubai and several other countries, she said, adding that Iran will be the last stop. She also added that she received the Parallel Cultural Awards at the Hungarian Media Wave Festival for her achievements in connecting the two cultures, while she was displaying her works “Travel Diary” in Hungary two years ago. “My daughter, Samira also staged a performance about my immigration to Iran when I was young,” she added. “I was always in search of art and cultural commonalities between the East and the West and like to seek these commonalities,” she said.
