Shadi Shokoohi is a dynamic painter based in the UK, celebrated for her vibrant and emotive artworks. A graduate of the prestigious Accademia delle Belle Arti di Firenze in Italy, Shadi’s artistic journey has been profoundly shaped by diverse cultural experiences.
Born in Iran, Shadi's passion for art ignited at the age of 11 when she began exploring the intricate beauty of traditional Iranian miniature painting. This early foundation laid the groundwork for her lifelong love of art. She pursued formal education in rug design at the University of Esfahan, where she deepened her understanding of color, pattern, and texture.
For 15 years, Shadi shared her knowledge and passion as an art instructor in her own gallery in Iran. Teaching allowed her to connect with aspiring artists and foster a vibrant community of creativity, enriching her own practice as she learned from her students.
My work is a harmonious blend of colors and textures, each piece telling a unique story that resonates with the viewer. My art is a celebration of life, nature, and the beauty that surrounds us.
Her artistic journey took a pivotal turn when she moved to Italy, enrolling at the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Firenze. This renowned institution is celebrated for its rigorous curriculum and distinguished faculty. In Florence, Shadi was inspired by the masterpieces of the Renaissance and the city’s rich artistic heritage, refining her techniques and expanding her artistic horizons.
Now based in the UK, Shadi continues to create captivating works that reflect her unique perspective. Her current focus often explores themes of nature and emotion, using acrylics to convey the beauty of moody skies and lush landscapes.
