My name is Bahar Sayahsina. I was born in Iran – Tehran, and  have been living and working in the United States since 2010. I grew up in Tehran surrounded by creativity through my mother, a painter whose work filled our home with color and imagination.

Although my early years included both encouragement and moments of doubt, I rediscovered art in my late twenties when I began sculpting. What started as simple curiosity soon became a turning point in my life. Working with clay awakened a deep connection to form, texture, and creative expression.

Over time, my artistic practice expanded to include charcoal, acrylic, mixed media, resin, and natural materials. Through this exploration, I developed an intuitive approach to art-making, allowing movement, gesture, and emotion to guide my process.

For me, art is both a creative language and a personal journey. My work is often spontaneous and instinctive, shaped more by feeling than by rigid planning. Each piece becomes a moment of exploration where material and emotion meet.

Today I continue to explore different mediums while developing a growing body of work that bridges drawing, sculptural surfaces, and expressive mark-making. I believe art is not about perfection or imitation, but about authenticity, curiosity, and courage.
