“My art blends my mother’s legacy with Persian echoes, weaving past and present in a dance of color.”
NasPari, a name thoughtfully composed from the union of 'Nasim' and 'Pari', her mother's name, embodies a profound link with Persian heritage.
This unique designation represents not only the strong bond she shares with her mother but also acts as an homage to the rich cultural legacy that deeply influences her artistry.
In NasPari's work, the fusion of personal and cultural narratives creates an artistic expression that is both deeply personal and resonant with Persian traditions.
NasPari's signature motif, the Holy Goat, is emblematic of a creature revered across many cultures for its spiritual significance. In Persian tradition, the goat is not just an animal; it embodies prayers for fresh water, good health, and happiness. Particularly, goats with long horns are esteemed as more sacred. This reverence is deeply embedded in Persian art and history, where goat symbols and carvings serve as symbols of mutual understanding and peace.
One of the earliest depictions of goats can be traced back to the Burnt City in Iran, a significant archaeological site. The presence of goat carvings here highlights their longstanding cultural importance. NasPari's choice of the Holy Goat as her signature is a tribute to this rich legacy, a nod to the enduring symbolism of the goat in her culture.
Her art, with the Holy Goat at its core, thus becomes a bridge between the past and the present, merging traditional symbols with contemporary artistic expression. Through her work, NasPari not only honors her Persian roots and her familial ties but also brings to the forefront the timeless and transcendent qualities of these ancient symbols, reinterpreting them in a modern context. Her signature, the Holy Goat, thus stands as a powerful emblem of her identity, heritage, and artistic vision.

My artistic career began when I moved from Persia to London, a transition that deeply impacted me, leaving a longing for my homeland. In London, I realized the underrepresentation of my Persian community and culture, which inspired me to use art as a medium to express my heritage and love for my roots. Art became my conduit to connect with home, allowing me to share the rich stories, traditions, and textures of Persia in a new land. This desire to represent and maintain a link with my culture shaped my artistic journey, driving me to develop a unique voice that not only displays aesthetics but also embodies a piece of my heart and heritage, fostering a connection and celebration of Persian culture in a global sphere.

My art is a canvas of diversity, primarily utilizing acrylics and oils in both gloss and matte finishes to create depth and interplay of light. Integral to my work is the incorporation of resin, which lends a luminous, glass-like quality. What truly distinguishes my pieces, however, are the real-life materials I gather, ranging from natural elements like tree leaves to eclectic items like buttons, beads, mirrors, and especially 24-carat gold flakes from Persia. Each material is carefully chosen for its texture and story, infusing my art with the essence of my environment. This approach results in a unique, textured look, inviting viewers to not only see but feel the artwork, ideally in person, where its tactile richness and intricate details are fully appreciated.
In addition to my traditional methods, I've ventured into the world of finger painting, using only my fingers to create abstract pieces with oils. This experimental approach allows me to embrace spontaneity and the unpredictable, as I let the paint dry slowly and observe the fascinating forms that emerge. I have a deep passion for exploring and experimenting with new artistic techniques, constantly pushing the boundaries of my creativity.

The creation of each piece in my collection is a unique journey, making it challenging to pinpoint an exact timeframe. The intricate nature of my work, combined with the diverse materials I use, contributes to varying completion times. While some of my paintings have taken up to 3 months, including intermittent work sessions, others, such as certain drawings, have been completed in less than a week. On average, my paintings are typically finalized within 2-3 weeks. This time is often attributed to the curing process and the incorporation of natural elements, which enrich the artwork's texture and depth. Each piece is a labor of love, and the time invested ensures that it embodies the essence of my artistic vision.

You'll usually find me or my paintings all across the world, as my artistic journey knows no geographical bounds!
I have a deep passion for travel, as it allows me to immerse myself in new cultures, draw inspiration from diverse experiences, and engage in international events. While I frequently traverse the world, collaborating with clients from various corners of the Earth, my home base is in the United Kingdom, specifically in the vibrant city of London. This iconic metropolis, steeped in rich history and teeming with diverse cultures, serves as a wellspring of constant inspiration for my work.

Yes, I welcome commissions and custom work, cherishing the opportunity to collaborate and bring unique visions to life. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working on many commissioned pieces, each one offering a special opportunity to engage with diverse ideas and visions.

The process begins with a consultation, which can take place in your home or via video/phone. Together, we'll plan the size, style, color, and composition of your perfect painting, considering your interior, taste, and personality. I'll provide an exact quote valid for 3 months. If you decide to proceed, a deposit (typically around 25%) secures your booking and covers materials. Throughout the painting process, I'll provide updates and invite your input for any revisions. As we near completion, for local clients you'll be invited to the studio for a viewing to ensure your complete satisfaction.
If you're contemplating a custom artwork or commission, don't hesitate to get in touch. You can reach out via the contact page or directly through email at arts@naspari.com.
