Shafagh Azhandeh holds a BA in Fine Arts and has taught arts for over fourteen years . Her vision creates artworks that are mixed in textures and materials and are projected in an uncomplicated two-dimensional platform.
The simple shapes and raw colors reach to connect with her audience and she believes that straight forwardness and beauty of her work are not paradoxical, and rather complimentary.
The idea behind her paintings is to present the often ignored aspects of modern life aside from natural and sensational elements that are intertwined with human life.
Shafagh is a solo and group exhibited artist locally and globally, as well as a philanthropist always engaging in initiatives to help her fellow humans. As a new immigrant to Canada, Shafagh experienced the challenge of adapting to a new environment without ignoring the soul of her culture and compromising her roots. With support of her husband, she worked very hard to accept change, spread her wings, belong and contribute to the principles and communities that are close to her heart and held in highest regards. That endurance has paid off and Shafagh and her family now comfortably call Toronto home.
