Farzaneh Alihosseini

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 viewer’s attention back to nature and get them to look at their surrounding differently.
