German-Persian Abstract Painter | Based in Wolfsburg, Germany

Zara Ashnagar Asefi is an abstract expressionist painter whose work captivates with bold colors and layered textures. Her art tells epic stories, narratives that are unique to each viewer while maintaining a universal impact.

By building up thick layers of paint, she adds physical and visual depth, enriching the emotional narrative of each piece. Her art is filled with emotion, inviting viewers into a personal and powerful experience.

Every painting is a story, waiting to be discovered. Zara approaches her canvas as a storyteller, weaving tales in colors and forms. Each work is a chapter in an unfolding visual novel, offering viewers the chance to immerse themselves in a world of strokes and hues.
Zara is dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind artworks, each a reflection of her commitment to artistic individuality.
