My name is Bahar Sayahsina. I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran. I was surrounded by creativity from an early age. My mother, an artist, brought beauty to life through painting, sparking my own love for colors and crafting. However, a discouraging remark from a teacher at age seven made me doubt my artistic abilities, and for years, I believed art wasn’t meant for me.

Everything changed in my late twenties. Searching for something new, I turned to sculpting—and with it came a powerful awakening. Sculpting unlocked a sense of bravery and possibility, inspiring me to explore acrylics, charcoal, resin, stones, and other materials. This exploration marked the beginning of a transformative artistic journey.

Guided by an art coach, I discovered that art could be more than creation—it could be healing. Art became my language for expressing emotions I struggled to verbalize. My process is raw, instinctive, and unplanned; I let my emotions lead, resulting in works that are deeply personal and often serve as vessels for processing complex feelings.

I don’t believe in conforming to trends or replicating others’ styles. I believe everyone is born an artist, capable of creating works that reflect their true selves. My art is defined by fearless expression, existing beyond judgment. Each piece I create reveals my heart and mind in their purest forms.

With the support of incredible mentors, I’ve embraced my path as an artist—one where bravery, authenticity, and self-expression take center stage.
