Don't judge her by her cover

This painting is miraculously alluring to the eyes. The featureless lady in the middle is eccentric and haunts your eyes every time you stare at it. It is obvious that Aziz has tried to indicate/ open up a passage to the thoughts of the audience through his engraved symbol: below the women's chest. Aziz has passed down Persian symbols for a long time on his obscuring ,detailed paintings, which to me now thinking about it feels like he is not just trying to create a new style of his own but again trying to open the eyes of the audience to the art world with his paintings full of clandestine tales. However what really interests me is that the woman's face is simply not bland but filled with many little veins to create a marble effect. On the left side of her face there is a colossal peel, almost like paper etched on the lavish marble, akin like a scar . The diamond shaped emerald shapes fading back in the background look like scant dancing trees moving with the emollient tune of the wind. The woman/girl is fascinating through her abnormal body shape and yet awful and ghoulish every time you glare at it. The painting absorbs you whole with great force whenever you beam at it. Overall I think that this work is very bewitching and pleasant every now and again to see, sometimes even assuring.
