Shadi Mahsa's Biography
Born in Tehran in 1967 Shadi Mahsa started to
paint avidly from the age of 6. From childhood she was trained by some of the
most leading Iranian art instructors of the day. In 1990 she left Iran for
Sydney. After this time Mahsa went on to participate in numerous art courses and
schools in both Australia and the UK. Mahsa has had group and solo exhibitions
in such countries as Australia, England, the USA and Iran.
Shadi is deeply concerned with the connection
between man and nature whose depth she first realized in her TM sessions. She
has a solution through which man can realize that depth: creation. She invites
her viewers to participate in the majesty of creation and creativity but it is
not until man has been able to unleash all those inhibitions that force him into
various pigeonholes that he is able to attain the role of creator.
Mahsa has experienced the grandeur and peace of
the universe and it is precisely this peace and greatness that she pours forth
onto her canvases for the viewer to witness. Her world is one of total
abandon--the only formula for the purgation of man from his all inhibiting fears
for it is not until that catharsis is reached that man can hope to attain his
rightful place in the world that Mahsa depicts: the world of love, beauty, and
ultimate union with nature. To her the ultimate expression of the love of God is
the flower and this flower she recreates through her rich colors to further
entice her viewer to participate in an orgy of creativity whose only outcome can
be the ultimate destruction of all that limits and shackles man in a society
that seeks to dominate, control and alienate. Shadi Mahsa is presently living
and working in Tehran.
