About me

Bahareh was born and grew up in Iran. She received her B.F.A. from the University of Alzahra in Tehran, Iran. She had solo and group exhibitions in Iran. Moreover, she was awarded for participation in the 4th Busan TAFISA. Bahareh’s paintings focused on the mythology of Iran and she balanced her time between her own art projects and working as a teaching artist. Moved to Canada with her family and became interested in contemporary art. As a result, she took encaustic (wax) course at Ocad University to enhance her skills as a visual artist. She enjoys this medium as it allows for layering, texture and translucent colours. "Drop your fear to be judged then express yourself as an artist." -Bahareh Soltani
