My name is Shadi, I am from Iran, I was born in Tehran, I grew up in a small family, My father was in
printing business ,He had a lot of interests in arts, He was always drawing at home , and I was always
interested in what he was doing, when I was 12 years old, I went to painting class, I decided to follow my
interest and talent, and my father was encouraging me as well, however I thought learning Graphics
was good for me and it was closed to what I was wanting in that time, So I studied Graphics at junior art
school in Tehran. Before I was finishing my junior school, I met a friend who studied painting, she
explained about painting, also about her feelings, after that I understood that I really was interested in
painting. The best decision that I have made throughout my entire life was choosing painting program.
I finished my bachelor and master’s degree in painting at school of Art and Architect of Tehran. I met
some famous artists of Iran and learned lots of things about painting. I started my works with drawing
and sketch. One of things that has been important for me is composition, also it has been a big
challenge, after that I have wanted to add a color in my works, this was a start to thinking about spaces
,abstract and realism. I had to choose my favorite , so I have chosen I have always interested in simple
things.
