Farzaneh Alihosseini
Artist member since 2020
Toronto, Ontario
I was born and raised in Iran. I was drawn to art and painting from a young age. The culture I grew up in did not see art as a viable career option which led me into a career in health care. In my early twenties I immigrated to Canada and chose Toronto as my permanent home. As a first generation immigrant, I struggled to survive and I had to put art on the back burner. It was not until 2015 when I finally got the opportunity to pursue my lifelong passion. I took guidance and mentorship from many talented artists to fine tune my skills in oil painting. I find inspiration in nature and how it is constantly changing by mankind. In my paintings, I try to bring my viewerโs attention back to nature and get them to look at their surrounding differently.

When I'm not making art, I'm (a) ...
I both get inspired and find solitude in nature. So when I am not painting, I love to hike. I also love good food . Finding either a hole in the wall or a noteworthy fine dining restaurant is my other favourite thing to do. Last but not least is travelling. I live to travel and see the world.
