    Of course, Niccu, I am extremely proud of you and the beautiful work that you have created. You have taught me and so many others so much about your life and Persian culture. I am so very grateful to be your friend, your student, and your naughty son.

    I’ve enjoyed the various “languages” used to express peace — states of our dreams of peace. The variety of expressions is worthy of nationwide attention. I’ll encourage more people to see these expressions of peace — Thank you!

    P.S. The dioramas are the bomb

    When I think about how many hours you spent, making these memories visible to the world, I wonder how many more thoughts, sentiments, hidden stories surfaced. The power of your work is not so much in the telling, it is in the manifesting of lives and stories we would never see on TV or read about in the papers. Thank you, Niccu!

    The beautiful dioramas are wonderful. I liked seeing the differences in the homes of the oppressed, the wealthy, and the westernized influenced. The detail in the cultural celebrations made me feel like I was there.

    Your love for your beloved Persia shines.

    I was invited to Niccu’s home today to see her Diorama Art work. She is truly amazing; the attention to detail is outstanding. I was blown away by the quality of her work, they took my breath away. She also took the time to explain each piece, so we understood what she was trying to capture. She truly brought to life the vision of her country so we could experience it. Niccu is so well educated and gifted in her craft; I would recommend that anyone would benefit from a viewing of her Diorama Art on her country of Persia.

    Dear Niccu
    I subscribe to a qualitative opinion Kathleen Stewart, and I express my respects to you. Amazing love!
    These products are available for purchase?
    I ask you to answer me by mail, unnecessarily difficult to predict when I will be able to visit your site.
    Thank you.

    Sincerely.

    Your diorama art on Remembering Persia is unbelievable. You have spent an incredible amount of time building your displays. Having your growing up years displayed like that makes them so much more real. Thanks for sharing them with me.

    Hi Niccu,

    I recently was priviledged to see and appreciate the story of your life through the dioramas you created. I marvel not only at the content of each of them meticulously done with care and love, but appreciate each and every story detailing your life. Your creativity and attention to detail is astounding. It was great to get a view of another country and culture through your eyes.

    You have created beauty and knowledge through your dioramas and I am so glad you shared them with me! Thanks also for sharing your Persian dinner with me, it was great.

    Your art studio is amazing! Such intricate detail to your dioramas and loved the narratives describing your culture. An in depth history of what was happening in Iran and how you were able to become educated and bring your talents to the US would be interesting to learn.
    Thank you again for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home.

    Dear Niccu,
    Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent as a cook and artist. I enjoyed your honest persian cooking very much! Your diaramas are absolutly breathtaking, I could have sat and gazed at each one for hours. The entire room is like a book and each diarama is a chapter. It was a magical experience, thank you so much for sharing it with me!

    Dear Niccu,
    The website is certainly informative and well organized. It is also rewarding to view because it introduces the viewer to Persian art and architecture, and various aspects of Persian life. When we were in 5th and 6th grade, my father was our history teacher. This was in a Northern Transylvanian city and he was teaching “ancient history”. As part of the course-material we – of course -, learned about Persia as well. Some of your pictures here exhibited would have done a great deal of service to our interests. But, for me, better late than never. Thank you for your exhibit and wish you continued energy and will to further embellish this very fine effort. Best wishes to you, László and Agnes

    درود بر شما خانوم نیکو
    وبسایت خیلی جالبی دارید و برای منی که 19 سال هست که در ایران متولد شدم و زندگی کردم مطالبش متاسفانه تازگی داشت.
    روی پروژه ای که بخش اعظم آن به تاریخ ایران و سنت و روش زندگی مردم ایران برمیگردد در حال فعالیت هستم. اما متاسفانه دست تنهایی سرعت کار و کیفیت کار را پایین آورده است.
    اگر مایل به همکاری هستید لطفا یک ایمیل به بنده بزنید.
    با آرزوی موفقیت های بیشتر/ محمد

    Niccu,

    Your creations are not only beautiful but offer an insight into the heart and soul of the culture of a country most of us know little or nothing about. I know, first hand, how difficult, but rewarding, it can be to search for just the right objects that will add the detail it takes to bring a miniature setting to life and you have shown a terrific ability to bring your settings to life. One wishes they could be small enough, for a little while, to visit the beautiful rooms or wander in the marketplace. Your love of country and passion for your art is so very evident in your work. I also enjoyed learning more about you and your many life accomplishments.

    Keep up the good work!
