Mojdeh Shirazi started exploring textures, colours and different recycled materials for her hand crafted greeting cards collection in early 2001 when she took a sabbatical from her work as a biochemist and began a new life in Costa del Sol in southern Spain.
Despite having no formal training in fine arts the public found her work original, fresh and different to what was offered in the market. As a result she had a number of commissioned works as well as an exhibition in a local art gallery.
Mojdeh takes inspiration from the rich, vivid colours and textures of the nature around her. Her work is fascinated by the interplays of colour, light and movement. Since returning to the UK- in late 2004, she has expanded her work to larger size collages and abstract art pieces where she uses mixed media to add depth to her work and enhancing it with subtle touches of silver and gold.
As an experienced dancer and choreographer she likes to bring movement into her pieces and the impressions of all the joy around us; the joy which is seen and felt by our senses.
She is currently showing some of her work at The Vital Arts yearly exhibition organised by the Arts Organisation of the Barts and the London NHS Trust.
