Artist Biography
Shahla loved art from early childhood. Her father was an amateur painter, and tried to transfer his gift to her. She won several national prizes in her teenage years, and this recognition inspired her to pursue painting as a career despite family opposition.
She moved to Europe where she could explore art further and paint in the manner she wished. She studied at the kunst Academy in Dusseldorf, Germany, and then at the Instituto Europeo in Florence as well as in Southern California. While in Europe and United States of America, her work was displayed in several successful exhibitions and appeared in catalogues, newspapers and books.

Des son enfance, shahla a aimé l’art. Son père était un peintre amateur et essayait de lui transmettre ce don. Durant son adolescence, elle remporta plusieurs prix nationaux et son talent l’a poussée à poursuivre la peiture dans le but d’en faire sa carrière malgré le désaccord de ses parents.
C’est en Europe qu’elle explora l’art et la peiture de la façon qui l’intéressait. Elle étudia à l’Académie Kunst, à Dusseldorf, à l’institut Europea à Florence, et par la suite, en Californie du sud. Ses tableaux exposés à plusieurs reprises en Europe et aux Etats-Unis remportèrent un grand succès. Ses oeuvres parurent aussi dans des catalogues, des revues et des livres. Elle aime donner à la réalité un caractère de fantasie en utilisant une variété de médias, mais la peinture reste pour elle une passion qui lui permet d’exprimer au mieux sa vision intérieure.
