Two Iranian teenagers Elena Saadaat Kazazi and Dorsa Hamyani received awards in the 27th Shinhan Postcard Art Competition in South Korea.
The theme of the Shinhan Postcard Art Competition was “Draw Yourself – Let the World Know You,” targeting young artists aged 4 to 18. The competition witnessed the participation of talented individuals from around the world, ILNA wrote.
Fatemeh Latifi, an accomplished artist specializing in guiding children and teenagers in the proper use of creativity and painting techniques, expressed pride in the success of the two Iranian teenagers.
She stated, “We have experienced that Iranian child and teenage artists have always deserved top positions in global painting competitions. I have always tried to guide my students to achieve the status they deserve. Therefore, by participating in international competitions, I aim to showcase the name and art of Iran to the world.”
Kazazi, who underwent two years of specialized painting training, won the fourth award of the contest in the 13 to 15 age group. Her artwork for the competition depicted herself amidst colorful and vibrant birds, showcasing her love for these creatures.
Hamyani, selected in the 7 to 12 age group, has been under specialized painting training since the age of six. Her artwork has previously been awarded in the 2023 FAO Painting Competition in the US. Also a winner in a children’s painting competition in Romania, Hamyani depicted herself as an explorer in the Shinhan competition, receiving her well-deserved acclaim.
