Born and raised in
beautiful Tehran, Iran, Aryan lived beside the
mountains she climbed in her youth.
Later, she learned to paint them. Her natural talent
was apparent after her first public art exhibition
at the Book City Karname in Iran. In pursuit of new
inspiration, Aryan relocated to Germany where she
received her Masters in Global Political Economics
from Kassel University. Continually fostering her
passion for watercolour painting during this time,
Aryan was prolific enough to showcase her art in
public exhibitions at the University of Kassel, the
Courtyard Marriott Hotel, the Labsal Gallery and the
Dietrich Bonhoeffer Haus. In addition, her work has
been featured and aired internationally on various
television networks,
and printed in German and Iranian newspapers.
At the completion of her studies, Aryan migrated to
Calgary where the mountains and Alberta sky
became her muses. Aryan’s paintings often involve a
component of motion and themes love, passion,
happiness and peace. Her paintings comprise
comforting earthy organic motifs of nature, often
highlighting humanity’s natural relationship to the
earth.
Aryan currently works at a conceptual engineering
firm, paints and teaches painting.
Aryan is just beginning to establish herself as an
artist in Calgary.
She hopes to own a gallery one
day.
