My name is Shahrzad Shajari. I was born in 1982 in Iran. I started painting at the age of 15 and taking drawing and painting classes. I have a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering. After my graduation at 2006, I decided to pursue painting professionally. Since then, I have had the honor to learn from the great artists Majid Arvari and Iman Afsarian.
Becuase of my passion for painting, I decided to study for a competetive entrance exam for master's degee in painting and I got accepted at one of the top universities in Tehran with rank 7 among thoussands of applicants.
My paintings have been published in Modportrait and 110 selected painitngs in Iran. I am looking forward to participating in this exhibition and meeting great artists and see all the artworks.
