Hello! My name is Shaghayegh Moazzami. I am a painter and an illustrator; however, to be completely honest, these are just contractual titles for the activities which I have chosen as my profession. I would not know if I should call myself an artist, but there is one thing I am certain of: I am a storyteller... And I owe my storytelling skill to where I grew up, the Middle East. This region in the world embraces an enormous number of folk tales and I was brought up, or more aptly put, shaped up among all these stories.

My works almost always initiate with the influence of something or someone on me; it could be something I read in a book or someone I see on the street. Although some of my works might not appear realistic, the ideas behind them have originated from the little things in my life.

The language of picture is an international one; it knows no boundaries, no races, no religions, and even no genders. So, I hope to be able to touch as many people in the entire world as possible through my very works. Read Less
