“Siyavash in Fire” was a solo painting exhibition by M.J Pakravan at Ferdowsi gallery in Mashhad. The paintings were Pakravan’s reflection on Shahnameh’s epic story of Siyavash. Siyavash was a legendary Persian prince who, through a conspiratorial plan by Sudabeh (the Queen of Iran), was forced to prove his innocence by riding through a colossal mountain of fire.
