In an exclusive interview with Kurdistan24 on Saturday, Khasraw reflected on her artistic journey and described art as an inseparable part of her identity. She explained that modern art allows artists to express feelings and ideas without restrictions. She added that artistic freedom helps creators communicate personal experiences and social realities in powerful ways.
Khasraw said her work continues to evolve through experimentation with different styles, colors, and techniques. She also noted that art can play an important role in raising awareness about social issues and encouraging dialogue within society.
According to Khasraw, every painting carries a message connected to emotion, memory, and everyday life. The Kurdish painter emphasized that artists should continue developing their skills while remaining connected to their cultural identity and personal experiences.
She described her latest project as an attempt to explore deeper emotional and human themes through modern artistic expression. Khasraw also encouraged young artists to remain confident in their creativity and continue pursuing their artistic ambitions despite challenges.
