An Italian artist, Isabella Ducrot, has set up a painting exhibition focusing on traditional Iranian ceramics and vases in Italian capital Rome.
Ducrot's exhibition will showcase fifty paintings representing classic Iranian ceramics, painted on so-called "Chinese paper," Press TV correspondent in Rome reported.
Ducrot has travelled to many countries in the world which inspired her in her artistic creations.
She noted that the lure of the east seems to provide much inspiration, saying "I very often go back, to India, to Afghanistan, but it is in Iran that they do these kinds of things."
"I am more interested in what they do in the East than in the West," she went on to say.
The life styles depicted in the paintings and on the vases provide a fresh look on a millenary history of artistic beauty. The exhibition also provides an artistic fusion of different traditions, uniting through the medium of creativity.
Ceramic is perhaps the earliest and invention by man, and is the most significant of the artistic manifestations for historians and archaeologists.
The exhibition, which has so far proven to be a success, will run through the January 11, 2011.
