Soheila Bahrami
Hi, I'm Soheila and I'm a contemporary artist based in the Midlands, UK. Growing up I remember being drawn to anything creative but it was especially in my teen years that I developed a passion for art and later went on to complete a Fine Art A level. After leaving college I promised myself to never stop painting because of the joy it gave me. Especially in recent years after starting a family, I found my creativity levels soar and so I decided to create a dedicated space for my art practice. My own art studio at the bottom of the garden.
I use my art practice as a means of self discovery and personal expression. Each new work begins with few preconceived ideas, using only favourite tools, colours and a heart full of emotion. I feel it is this mix of intention and intuition that adds depth, and wonder to my works
About my work
I like to work with acrylic paint, and to enrich my work with posca pens, pencil, biro, collage and soft pastels. My work is characterized by playful sometimes childlike motifs recalling my love for wonder, play and amusement . I aim to create a story behind each piece to captivate my audience, transporting them into an abstract, immersive yet subjective experience.
My current obsession is florals. I try to convey them the way I see them, as having quirky personalities and dynamics. I hope my paintings evoke the child within becasue I believe it is our inner child, our most authentic self that is in desperate need of care and preservation. It is my hope that my paintings provide a space in which to play, wonder and discover.
