Soheila Esfahani grew up in Tehran, Iran, and moved to Canada in 1992. She graduated in 2003 from University of Waterloo with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in fine arts. She was a semi-finalist for the 2004 New Canadian Painting Competition through RBC Investments and the Canadian Art Foundation. She currently works from her studio at Kitchener’s artist–run center, Globe Studios.
Esfahani’s work incorporates traditional Persian script within a modern composition. While the essence of calligraphy predominates and reveals an eastern origin in her work, forms, lines, and texture attest to a western abstract influence. In her paintings, the mystical concepts of transformation, spirituality, and alchemy manifest through the meaning of poems by Persian poet, Rumi.
