About the artist
Maysa Bogheiri is a painter who resisted the urge of becoming a fine artist most of her life, yet after exploring different fields such as Speech Therapy and Animation she found her way back to her true calling; painting and drawing. Through her watercolour paintings, Maysa opens a small window to some of her inner thoughts and constantly tries to challenge the norm of beauty and the macabre.
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
Maysa Bogheiri is a self-taught watercolour painter with a passion for surrealism. Her artwork is primarily centred around female subjects, offering a unique journey of self-expression and introspection. Drawing inspiration from personal memories, feelings and the subconscious, Maysa’s creations exude both darkness and beauty. As an Iranian American artist, her paintings offer glimpses into the crossroad of her cultural background. Through her art, Maysa invites you to explore her inner world and discover your own meaning within her creations.
