Shiva Abossedgh

Born on July 7, 1984 in Iran, I’m an experienced painter and illustrator with over two decades of expertise in realism and surrealism. Proficient in various techniques like charcoal, watercolour, acrylic, oil painting, and vitrail, I’ve spent 15 years teaching art in both private and public classes. I was the founder and senior artistic manager of the Rangdaneh Visual Arts and Handcrafts Institute in Tehran, accredited by the Technical and Vocational Training Organization. Additionally, I am a proud member of the Iranian Painters Association. In 2023, I embarked on a new chapter by immigrating to Austria as an artist, and now I reside in Graz. I work as a freelance artist, organizing various painting exhibitions, and conducting painting classes.
