I am Shakiba, an artist and art instructor. I was born on September 24, 1974, in the beautiful homeland of Iran, and now the sunshine of my life shines in the vibrant and energetic city of Dubai.

My education is in the field of architecture, including both bachelor's and master's degrees. My love and passion for art ignited during childhood, growing up in a creative and artistic family.

With immense support from my family and mentors, I embarked on a journey into the vast world of art during my youth. I have undertaken various art courses, including sketching, miniature design, patina on metals and walls, gold leafing, plasterwork, sculpture, mixed media, speed painting, and object decoupage. These beautiful experiences helped me expand my art, and now I am engaged in diverse architectural projects and painting canvases.

My artistic inspirations stem from restoration and rejuvenation of objects and environments. These works convey a message that while time may come to an end, there is still hope and potential to preserve and prolong the life of things through artistry.

In my artworks, I utilize a blend of different materials and vibrant acrylic and oil colors on walls, canvases, and wood. My primary goal is to infuse art into our living spaces, firmly believing that art enriches our living environment, making it more beautiful and pleasant.

I believe that painting and architectural design can collaborate and bring forth creative, delightful, and artistic results. The integration of ancient symbols with modern painting and colors essentially expresses renewal and revitalization in my works.

I strive to captivate the viewer in the magic of renewal amidst aging and to instill hope in closure through my artistic endeavors. Gradually, I aim to present these wonderful feelings and artistic techniques in a simpler language to art enthusiasts.
