Soheil Mousavi

I am an Iranian contemporary artist based in London, United Kingdom. My artistic journey began at the age of 12, when I started exploring painting through continuous art education, including drawing, oil painting, Pastels and calligraphy. I began working professionally as an artist at 20.

For me, painting is an instinctive and deeply personal process. Although I may begin with an initial idea, my work often evolves spontaneously, guided by emotions, intuition, and the inspiration of a particular moment. I work primarily with acrylic, oil, and mixed media, exploring different techniques to give each piece its own character.

I am particularly drawn to creating art that extends beyond the traditional two-dimensional canvas. Through raised surfaces, sculptural elements, and layered textures, I aim to create works that are not only seen but almost physically felt.

I believe art should leave room for individual interpretation. While I hope viewers discover their own meanings within my paintings, I also want them to connect with the emotions I experienced during their creation, whether through a sense of calm, reflection, or something entirely unexpected.
