Talieh Kamran’s paintings or in general her non-verbal expression in general can be explored and explained at different levels of discourse, that fluctuate from figurative to abstract: in Kamran's pictorial discourse, we never encounter complete abstraction or complete figurativeness. Rather, we are faced with a kind of grading of these two levels. In the paintings that move more towards abstract discourse, the movement of rhythm, the darkness of the color palette, the power of the brush, and the confusion of color and line are more visible. In fact, the more we move from the figurative dimension to the abstract dimension in Kamran's works, we are faced with an area that we call the signified area, and this area is placed in front of the symbolic area, which is more related to figurative expression. It should be mentioned that in connection with the two symbolic and signified fields, we cannot talk about a special demarcation in their perception and within a single artwork, rather these two are completely intertwined and each turns into the other in the context of a discourse, and perhaps that is why every discourse Pictorial and non-pictorial, has its own special symbolic and signified field. In this way and through these two fields, Kamran has explored the field of meaning and weaves these two fields of meaning together like a thread and invites the viewer to discover the wide range of meaning of her artworks. She and the viewer bring out a bright and radiant sun from the heart of darkness, which has no path to darkness and destruction.
