Toronto is home to one of the largest Iranian diaspora communities in the world, so large and so culturally vibrant that the city has long been nicknamed "Tehranto" by its Persian community. Every year, Iranians gather in the streets and parks of Toronto to celebrate Nowruz, mark anniversaries, and express solidarity with those inside Iran, often flying the Lion and Sun flag, the historic tricolour of green, white, and red that predates the 1979 revolution and has become a powerful symbol of Iranian identity and cultural pride in exile. This print captures one of those moments: the Lion and Sun flag flying high on a tall pole, its stripes catching the wind, set against a blazing golden backdrop of Toronto's autumn tree canopy, a lone figure standing below.
This is not a traditional watercolor painting; it is a premium art print with a watercolor-inspired aesthetic.
