Shawn Kalantar

My name is Shawn and my Art's driven by a deep need for self-expression and exploration. My work is influenced by Impressionism, Symbolism and Abstract, but I strive to create something uniquely my own—art that captures emotion, movement, and the complexity of human perception.

Drawing and painting have been part of my life for years, but my creative journey extends beyond the canvas. I also work with sculpture, graphic design, and craft, constantly experimenting with different forms and techniques. My background in philosophy, psychology, and Buddhism shapes my approach, pushing me to explore themes of identity, order, and chaos.

I have a perfectionist mindset and an obsessive attention to detail, which fuels my constant drive for improvement. For me, art is more than an aesthetic pursuit—it’s a dialogue, a journey, and a way to make sense of the world.
