My name is Afsoon Shahriari
I am a self taught artist from a crowded city of Tehran.
As a child I was always amused by art and paintings, yet destiny took me to weaving and textile design for my bachelor's degree. In those years I used thread and their effects in the weaving to recreate some parts of nature as a fabric, yet it did not satisfy my passion for painting.
My artistic life turned again as I engaged in a Master's degree in animation. It was very different world from weaving and textile design! After completing my schooling, I worked on many projects in the world of animation but the passion was still there.
I preferred to dedicate my all to just one frame and make it a perfect frame than to work on many simple frames, so I decided to leave it all behind and returning to my childhood passion. I embarked on the task of really learning to draw. I used many of Michelangelo and Da Vinici's drawing as lessons to practice drawing. After much practice, I felt I was able to draw and since I was familiar with digital arts I've chosen digital pen as my medium.
