"I’m a creative person and love everything creative: painting, crafting, pottery, interior decorating, and vegetable curving. Among all forms of creative things; painting attracts me the most – it gives me a wide open space to explore, freedom to create and fills me with sense of satisfaction.

My inspirations are the beauty of nature I come across: whether it is a painting, a photograph, scene of a movie or TV show, or a place I been to. Interesting subject leads to the next work and inspires me to create something different, try new technique, and use different materials. My intention behind every painting is to capture the moment, bring it to life, and take it one step forward from the previous work!

I’ve explored through different media in my life: pencil, pen, water colour, pastel, oil and acrylic paints. In the beginning I used basic colours and gradually learnt about different shades. I started with flat drawing and over the years have mastered the technique of creating texture. Colour brush, spatula and hand are the tools I’ve used so far. I love to learn about different techniques and use of materials artists practice now days and try to use every possible thing I can think about in my works. Till now I’ve used Texture Paste, tissue paper, brown paper, and few natural elements.

Art completes me. Every work of mine is a symbol of complete dedication of time, devotion of self and involvement of emotion." - Fariba Hassan
