With their coi!ed black hair, almond-shaped eyes, and scarlet lips, the
women in Hayv Kahramans paintings are all beautiful. Yet the exquisitely
detailed works are as devastating as they are seductive. Detached limbs "oat
in space. Punctures made in the canvas recall knife wounds. As for those
eyes, they are heartbreakingly sad.

By the time she was just 11, the Baghdad-born (now Los Angelesbased)
artist had lived through two wars before "eeing Iraq with her family. A#er a
chaotic migration they settled in a small town in Sweden. I was the only kid
with black hair in my class, she remembers. Because I had to assimilate, I
lost who I thought I was. So I identify with the pain of other women who
have been a!ected by war.
