NAZANIN KHAVARI ART More Painting for me is both therapy and silent music, a music that calms my soul and takes away the passage of time. This means that it’s only painting that removes me from the chaos of the outside world and takes me to the peaceful world of art...

About NAZANIN

Painting, in a way, takes me out of time…

A Little Intro

I started painting at the age of 9 and learned from various art teachers with different styles. I began with pencil, then moved on to watercolor, and eventually transitioned to oil and acrylic painting, starting with a realistic style. I also work with resin and greatly enjoy incorporating Iranian motifs and symbols into my paintings. I tend to use bright colors in my artwork.

When I was in Iran, I participated in my first group exhibition at Farhang Saraye Ebne Sina alongside several other painters. In 2005, when I moved to the USA, I took part in several exhibitions, showcasing my work in a gallery in Miami. Since 2021, I have been collaborating with Pars Place, a cultural organization that organizes seasonal art exhibitions based on specific themes in Virginia. Artists can submit their work, and a selection is made from among them.

In 2024, I participated in Artomatic2024 in Washington, DC, which was a very valuable experience.
I have also organized art clinics for children aged 5 to 7, which has been a very rewarding experience.
I earned my master’s degree in French literature from the University of Maryland in 2009, and I currently teach French at George Washington University and Trinity University. I have always continued painting alongside my teaching career.
