I painted Berfîn Rêbaz because I wanted to tell a little of her story through my work. She was a Kurdish woman and commander who became known for her role in the Kurdish resistance. What interested me was not only who she was as a fighter, but the woman behind that image and what she represented
The flower on the back is Gulê Şilêr, a red flower that grows in the mountains of Kurdistan. Berfîn once spoke about the flower and connected its deep red colour to the blood of Kurdish fighters who dedicated and sacrificed their lives for Kurdistan. Her words stayed with me, and that is why Gulê Şilêr became an important part of this painting.
