Parastoo Atrsaei

My name is Parastoo, I am a painter and amateur photographer. I started painting since I was 6 years old and have attended to many drawing and painting classes.
As a geologist who explore the land and natural phenomenon, I always try to find inspiration in the beauty of the surrounding world, especially in nature. This inspiration helps me create art works to make viewers experience pleasant.
Along with original paintings I use decoupage techniques and make different kinds of decorated wooden boxes. I have an online art gallery named “Phil.Gallery”, you can find me on social medias with this name.
